COMPARISONS

Step vs the other browsers.

We don't pretend the others are bad. Most of them are good at what they set out to do. Step solves the problem they decided not to: keeping your context across sessions. Pick the one that fits your work.

Step vs Arc Browser

Arc rebuilt the window manager around your tabs. Step rebuilt the memory layer around your work. Here is how the two compare.

Step vs Dia Browser

Dia bet on AI in the URL bar. Step bet on memory in the browser. Two completely different answers to the same question: what should the next browser do?

Step vs Zen Browser

Zen is the most beautiful Firefox fork ever shipped. Step is a Chromium fork built around persistence. Different engines, different bets.

Step vs Google Chrome

Step is built on the same Chromium engine as Chrome. So what's the actual difference? The shell. The persistence. The privacy posture. Here's a clean, honest comparison.

Step vs Brave Browser

Both built on Chromium. Both care about privacy. But the bets are different: Brave reinvented the ad model. Step reinvented the memory model.

Step vs Vivaldi Browser

Vivaldi is the power-user browser. Step is the context-preservation browser. Both target serious users, but the philosophies are opposite: Vivaldi gives you everything to configure, Step gives you opinions to follow.
