Cliqz

Designed for privacy and security, Cliqz is an excellent choice if you are looking for a new web browser. A built-in ad blocker, anti-tracking and anti-phishing systems are just a few features you can expect. Furthermore, the browser provides a series of comfort-oriented features, as well as a familiar design, so you don't need any adjustment time.

Cliqz is absolutely free and you can have it up and running in under a minute. Besides the usual installation options, the setup wizard provides you with a few customization options as well, so you can choose what components to install. The browser works on all popular Windows versions and it is available for mobile devices as well.

Like all modern-day browsers, Cliqz lets you surf the web on multiple tabs. Also, your frequently visited web pages are displayed in a quick dial, on the home screen, along with a series of links to the latest news. What's more, the software lets you add your own tiles to the quick dial. All you have to do is provide a website's address and you will have a permanent shortcut to that site on your home page.

The browser's core features can be controlled in a pop-up menu, which can be brought up by clicking a button on a toolbar. The anti-tracking and anti-phishing systems, as well as the ad blocker and HTTPS features can be turned on and off at a moment's notice, just by clicking their corresponding on/off switches. You can also make a few tweaks to the browser's safe search functionality and history handling.

Cliqz's unique search function is another advantage over other browsers. Besides the fact that it is far safer, it is also more comfortable. As you type in your keywords, the browser will immediately display a set of search results and it will update them as you continue typing. In other words, you can search for something specific on the web and jump directly to that content, without going through a results page.

Safety, privacy and comfort are just a few advantages you can expect from Cliqz.
