You can like one thing without having to shit on the other. Firefox is fine. Vivaldi is cool. Simple as that. Not everything is a team sport.
The browser wars require browser fighting words, I am always happy to hear critique about these products… especially in 2026 when the corpo’s meta game is to completely stifle any and all bad PR / reviews / discussion.
Nah, they don't just like it; they're married to it. And with that into the clan that wanders around the steppes, downvoting every thing that challenges them and their beloved. This is, in essence, The Browser War that really doesn't have any other participants.
Is their beloved good? lol, well it's constantly in the news for all the wrong reasons. Is it a good experience? If you're into being a sub, yes. Does it perform well? Such questions are not allowed in the clan, but they believe it to be so based on clan size.
Most of all, they swear against Chromium, but park their Steam icons right next to Firefox on their desktop trays.
There is no mercy for anyone seen not using Firefox. Mixed-browser friendships are an abomination. Not caring much about extensions is death.
You seem to have got all worked up over this.
Just so you know, caring about what browser someone uses and recommending one are two separate things.
I couldnt give a fuck if you use Vivaldi, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge or anything else. I just prefer to recommend the open source ones, that are not holding a massive market share and run on an engine that is controlled by Google.
Like, relax, use Chrome to your heart's content, if that is what makes you happy.
He gets worked up over lots of things. It's an old account with no comment history that sprung up in the last few days being oddly aggressive and toxic.
It is weird.
I wasn't even talking about browsers... Sort of just a loose comparison of Firefox fans and the hordes of Genghis. You can pretend they're fans of something else, if you like.
I'm not shitting, just explaining reason I don't like it.
Seems more like you're explaining why you think others shouldn't like it.
Try not to read into it too much.
You typed it out to be read. Now you don't want people to read to much in to it after I guess not liking the reception.
I typed out why I don't like it. I know exactly how people here feel about Firefox. It's very predictable. Its the one AI software they will defend tirelessly.
What browser do you use? If you hate Chrome and Firefox, that's really going to limit your choices. Derivatives of both of those must be forbidden too because all of those would cease to exist if the base browsers vanished.
Something WebKit based? Or are you using something based on the Goanna fork of Gecko?
Who's hating, I thi k maybe you responded to the wrong comment?
Was this you?:
Your wording appeared to imply a solid dislike for Alphabet which I then took to be transferred onto their own browser - Chrome - and the browser who takes Alphabet's dime - Firefox.
I can see that there might be other ways to interpret that sentence and get the true shade of meaning you intended, but I'm not sure which one it is if it isn't the one I thought it was.
Demonstrating that you're not on the same team!
Definitely a free thinker! Not big on teams.
