For many, the web browsers pre-loaded onto our PCs and Macs are perfectly fine. They do everything we need, and after all, they’re the ones recommended by the manufacturers, right? Well, an increasing number of users are turning their backs on the pre-installed choices of Microsoft and Apple, instead choosing to take control of how they browse and what they browse with. So without further ado, here’s our Top 5 list of alternatives to the big name browsers. To download these or any from our huge range, click here. Got your own favourite? We’d love to know.

SeaMonkey
First off – what a cute name! But of course SeaMonkey is much more than just a quirky name – it’s an all-in-one web browser that includes email and chat (IRC client), oh, and easy HTML editing; it’s basically the Swiss Army knife of browsers. Not only that, but SeaMonkey is open-source and community-driven, meaning users can shape how it develops and what features it offers. It’s built on Mozilla source code, so it benefits from Mozilla’s built-in security, meaning protection against most online threats such as viruses and phishing sites. Plus, for added peace of mind, you can download security updates directly from the SeaMonkey website.
