How it works
Score = 25% data + 40% reviews + 35% votes
- Data: Arc feature parity from data verified against source code or the app bundle.
- Reviews: mean rubric score (Moving from Arc, Stability, Arc workflow, Speed & battery, Privacy & trust) of approved reviews from the last 180 days, counted as if every browser also had 5 reviews at the average of all browsers, so a few glowing reviews weigh less than many. A browser without reviews gets 0 here.
- Votes: each account's latest vote from the last 30 days; the browser with the most votes gets 100, the rest proportionally.
Weekly, monthly, final
- Every 7 days the standings are frozen and the leader of the week is announced.
- On the 22nd of every month the Browser of the Month is announced.
- Season score = average of the 12 monthly scores, later months weighted more (month n counts n times). The top 3 become finalists; the editor picks one and publishes why.
Fair play
- Google sign-in; one active vote per account. Banned accounts stop counting.
- Reviews need the tested version, how many days you used it and a screenshot as proof; the editor approves them.
- Browsers with no release in 180 days, or shutting down, drop out.
- Snapshots are computed only from votes and reviews dated before the cut-off, so history can't be rewritten.
