Web browsers
Open-source web browsers for Mac built on Firefox, Chromium or WebKit, with tracker blocking, vertical tabs and keyboard control.
A web browser is the app you use most of the day, so its engine, privacy defaults and tab handling matter. The browsers below are built on Firefox, Chromium or WebKit and add their own choices on top: content blocking, removed telemetry, workspaces, vertical tabs or keyboard-driven navigation.
Check which engine a browser uses, since that decides extension support and site compatibility. Also look at how it handles updates, sync and profiles, and what it sends to its developers by default.
