number two on the list is actually two applications they're both web browsers and

第二名其實有兩個網路瀏覽器的app並列

its Google Chrome

分別是Google Chrome

and Mozilla Firefox those are both free web browsers. I'm going to list them

和Mozilla Firefox，這兩個都是網路瀏覽器，我將它們兩個並列第二名

together because I use them both equally the same and they both do different
