Wonderful browsing experience is very important nowadays. On a Windows computer, you are able to find hundreds of web browsers which you can compare with the Internet Explorer and select your favorite one. The situation could be different on a Mac computer, as there are not so many web browsing apps for Mac computer as for Windows. If you own a Mac computer, and you are getting tired of the Safari web browser, you may want to search for another web browsing app.

You may be familiar with the web browser apps like Google Chrome and Firefox, and you can find their Mac versions effortlessly. But there are several other Mac browser apps that also provide great features. The following post will introduce you top 5 web browsers for Mac computers, and you can check it out if you are interested.

1. OmniWeb


According to the product introduction on its website, OmniWeb is a "feature-rich alternative to the standard web browser". I prefer its user interface than other web browsers, as it provides a very practical interface which allows me to view my saved websites at a glance, and I can pick up the one I need easily. The web browser also provides an add-blocking feature that is the most helpful feature I adore. Also, OmniWeb helps to save your bookmarks, browsing history and so on.

2. Opera


Many people know the mobile version of this app, and use it on their smartphones. Actually, the Mac version of this web browser is also a pretty good choice for Mac computers. Opera provides your favorite webpages in the main window with thumbnails, and you can access to the page with one click. The web browser also contains a "Turbo" plug-in, which makes the web browser run very fast.

3. Stainless


This web browser, at the very beginning, is developed as a technology demo to showcase its multiprocessing architecture in response to Google Chrome. Then it becomes a fully-functional web browser. Stainless is fast, and it allows users to drag and drop their favorite websites to the visual bookmark bar in case that they want to return sometime. This web browser also enables users to enter one site with different credentials at the same time, and it is regarded as a "true browser innovation".

4. Cruz


This web browser is a Twitter built-in browser for Mac computers. The browser allows you to view your Twitter Timeline and "@" mentions in a split pane while visiting other sites. And it also allows you to open the links from Twitter Timeline in new tabs or browse multiple pages simultaneously in split views. It offers a full-screen mode and complete sessions which enhanced its user experience.

5. Fake


Fake for Mac makes the website automation very easy to be done. The feature allows users to drag the browser actions to a graphical Workflow that can be run again and again. The web browser is very helpful for the web developers and designers, and it makes their life quicker and easier.

These web browsers for Mac computers may not be as famous and Chrome or Firefox, but they are all functional and helpful for increasing users' browsing experience. Mac users who are tired of using Safari may want to have a look on them.
