Google Chrome?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google Chrome generally offers a decent browsing experience. The only downfall of the browser is the lack of certain products and security features along with its <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/2977\/fix-slow-google-chrome-on-windows-11-windows-10\/\">heavy toll on performance<\/a>. Google is trying to rectify the latter so if you want a stable web browser then we would recommend that you stick with Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a more <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/6203\/best-privacy-web-browsers\/\">privacy-friendly browser<\/a>, then you can go with Brave browser or Firefox. And if you are looking for a feature-packed browser then you can try Microsoft Edge or Opera. Both are great options.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is what all happens when you uninstall Chrome on a Mac or Windows computer. I hope this guide was able to answer the questions you were seeking for. It is always recommended that you back up or export your data before uninstalling your current web browser. Since most popular browsers are based on Chromium these days, you can also install the same extensions as Chrome. If you have any queries related to the article then do reach out to us.
