# Browsers & the Web

Browsers, search engines, ad blockers, feed readers and ways to save and follow the web.

- [Best Web browsers](https://listme.name/best/web-browsers.md): Browsers differ most in their engine, how they block trackers and ads, and where they run. This ranking weighs privacy defaults and platform coverage first, then built-in features and open-source status. Every browser here is free to download.
- [Best Search engines](https://listme.name/best/search-engines.md): Search engines differ in result breadth, what they do with your queries, and whether they charge. This ranking favors broad, reliable results first, then privacy, free use and extra tools. Several privacy-focused options are free, and one is a paid subscription.
- [Best Ad blockers](https://listme.name/best/ad-blockers.md): Ad blockers differ most in scope: a browser extension covers one browser, while system-wide apps and DNS blockers cover whole devices or networks. This ranking weighs blocking coverage and openness first, then price and setup effort.
- [Best RSS readers](https://listme.name/best/rss-readers.md): RSS readers differ in where feeds are read, how they sync, and whether you host them yourself. This ranking weighs the reading experience and sync first, then organizing tools, hosting control and price.
- [Best Read-it-later apps](https://listme.name/best/read-it-later-apps.md): Read-it-later apps save articles to read on another time, on any device. This ranking weighs how well an app saves and reads articles first, then sync and device reach, highlights, and price. Pocket is no longer on this list because Mozilla is phasing it out.
- [Best Bookmark managers](https://listme.name/best/bookmark-managers.md): Bookmark managers store, tag and search links across browsers and devices. This ranking weighs ease of use and cross-device reach first, then search and archiving, self-hosting and price. Hosted services and self-hosted tools are both represented.
- [Best Website builders](https://listme.name/best/website-builders.md): Website builders let people publish a site without writing code, and they differ in hosting, price and how much control you keep. This ranking weighs ease of use and design control first, then hosting ownership, free plans and commerce tools.
- [Best Web analytics tools](https://listme.name/best/web-analytics-tools.md): Web analytics tools show how many people visit a site and what they do there. This ranking weighs reporting and privacy first, then setup effort, price and open-source status. Both hosted and self-hosted options are included.
