Well, if we talk about web browsers, without any doubt, Google Chrome seems to be the most popular one out there. Google Chrome browser provides users with many features usually not found on other web browsers. Google Chrome is available for Windows computers, Android, and iOS.
We can extend the browser functionality on a desktop computer by adding some extensions. For instance, you can add a dark mode extension to enable dark mode on Google Chrome; you can add a video downloader to download videos, etc.
