*'''[[Microsoft Edge]]''' - better on power usage than Chrome. Although it is basically Google chrome under Microsoft labeling, some Google trackers seem to have been removed, or replaced with Microsoft trackers. Also includes some UI changes from Microsoft, intended to be a value-add.

*'''Slimbrowser''' and '''[[Slimjet]]''' - have built-in ad blockers and don't report back to Google and Chrome. They are versatile and customizable. Slimbrowser originally used the Trident engine (but may have switched to the Firefox engine), and Slimjet uses the blink engine.

*'''[[Internet Explorer]]''' (discontinued) was a feature-rich browser. Many sites used to work well with this browser, including Yahoo! and Bing. However, it suffered from many security issues over the years, and tended to run slower than the alternatives. Microsoft ended support for IE11 (the last version) in 2020. Many sites no longer support Internet Explorer, especially graphics-intensive sites, and services which require modern DRM support.
