Internet browsers do more than open a page. The right tool depends on how you use the web. This archive covers new apps, privacy tools and past updates. Start with the browser and device you have, then choose a guide for the specific change you want.
Choose one task to compare
Web browser features here include network controls, image support and search tools. There are reports on new app versions too. Each tool solves a different problem. A tool that limits network use has a specific job. It does not tell you which browser opens every page fastest.
Our Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge archives focus on one product at a time. The Chromium browser collection explains the shared software behind several browser stories. Shared code does not give every app the same menus or account tools.
Check privacy and add-ons
Browser privacy settings can affect cookies, saved site data and permissions. Google’s Chrome cookie help notes that deleting cookies can sign you out and remove saved preferences. Read the scope of a cleanup before expecting it to change only one troublesome page.
Browser extensions add another layer to review. Check who made the add-on and what it can access. Read those details before you install it. An add-on in an old launch report may have changed or closed. Keep the actual task in view rather than adding tools just because they appear in a list.
Match updates to the platform
Browser updates can reach desktop browsers and mobile browsers at different times. Read which system and browser version the report covers. A phone screenshot may not show the same settings as the computer app with the same name.
For tasks on the sites themselves, browse useful websites. The reports below record past tools and releases across internet browsers. Use them to understand the change. Then check current product help before using an old setup step or download link on your device.
