Alternatively, click the little headphones icon and you’ll open Torch Music, which lets you search for pretty much any artist, album or song you like and have it play back in the browser, although this is little more than a glorified YouTube search engine, which means audio quality is variable and some tracks are not quite as advertised.

Go and watch a video on YouTube, for example, and a little download button will start bouncing in the toolbar, inviting you to rip a copy of the audio to your PC with a single click. It’s built on the Chromium browser, so if you already use Google Chrome, all of your bookmarks and history will be automatically imported. Also note that some of the features in this browser are decidedly iffy when it comes to copyright law.

A warning before we go any further: this is one of those annoying pieces of software that tries to worm free toolbars onto your PC, so be careful what you’re clicking during installation. Torch - Torch is an attractive browser designed specifically for media junkies. For those who don’t trust big corporations such as Google and Microsoft with such data, it’s another good option.

Maxthon’s trying to position itself as the “cloud browser”, with the option to share bookmarks, password and history from device to device – it has browsers for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Linux. A library of extensions is also available to add even more features to the browser.

The browser comes with AdBlock Plus pre-installed, so you’re unlikely to ever be troubled by bothersome pop-up ads or autoplaying videos, and there’s a mute button built into the toolbar at the bottom if a noisy intruder does get through.

There’s also an option to put the browser in split-screen mode, effectively having two different browser windows with different sets of tabs running alongside one another, which is a great way of using the full breadth of today’s widescreen monitors. One of our favourites is Super Drag and Drop: click and hold on a link in a web page and drag it a few pixel to the left and it opens in a new browser tab – handy if you want to keep the current tab open for later reference.

Maxthon - Maxthon is deceptively powerful, stuffed with lots of little features that you would never discover unless you knew they were there. Browsing with Tor is slower than the mainstream browsers, and because your location is effectively randomised, using sites that change content depending on your location – such as Netflix, for example – can be tricky. The various geographical hops do have some disadvantages. The browser can also be run directly from a USB thumb drive, so there’s no traces left behind on the host computer. Why might you want to hide your location or identity? Of course, there are all manner of nefarious reasons, but there are some pretty strong legitimate ones too, such as whistleblowing from inside an organisation, to avoid having your browsing activity traced by an employer, or to post with complete anonymity on a forum or messageboard. It reroutes your internet traffic around a host of volunteer relays across the world, making it incredibly difficult – if not impossible – for anyone to trace the sites you visit back to your individual IP address. The Tor Browser - The Tor Browser has a simple purpose: to prevent others from tracing your internet activity. We’re not quite sure what to make of filters that allow you to render web pages in sepia or black and white, but we’re glad someone’s willing to experiment with the web browser again. There’s also a barrage of keyboard shortcuts for power users, and Vivaldi says it’s working on “spatial navigation” so that you never have to lift your hands off the keyboard to navigate the web. There’s a facility for making notes on web pages, which although poorly implemented in the current early preview, could potentially be a boon for research. Tabs can also be docked to any side of the screen: top, left, right or bottom. Tabs can be dropped onto one another to form groups (one for webmail, for example, and another for social networks), potentially making the top of the screen less cluttered for those who like to work with a fistful of open tabs. It’s not just a tribute band, however Vivaldi brings some fresh ideas to the fore. The Opera heritage is immediately apparent: the “Speed Dial” grid of favourite websites that appears on new tabs has been lifted directly from the mothership, and the integrated mail client (not yet implemented) is another old Opera idea.


Created by Jon von Tetzchner, the founder of Opera, Vivaldi eschews the current trend for minimalist browsers.
