@jon@vivaldi.net can't live without Vivaldi's workspaces

@jon@vivaldi.net I use chrome because I have a chromebook right now, but when I'm running Linux its librewolf

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave, as you get a Chromium experience without Google nasties and a built in ad/tracker blocker

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari, because all my passwords live in iCloud, and I really like how the touch gestures for back and forward work.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox+Fennec+Libre Wolf

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox is my favorite when I can use it, but at least on my new Mac, I found Firefox was misbehaving for inexplicable reasons. Shrug, I don’t mind Safari that much, and for when AdGuard for Safari isn’t working, I also have AdGuard Home running on my home network.

@jon@vivaldi.net I use a plethora of browsers.

I'm migrating fron Firefox to LibreWolf (sorry, I prefer non-chrome based browsers), but have a Ungoogled Chromium as a backup those times Firefox/LibreWolf doesn't cut it (I thought the world had learnt a lesson from the IE days; seems we need to educate a new generation web hipsters).

On Android I use the default browser (in @e_mydata@mastodon.social) for a few news/blog sites, Mull and Vivaldi for some other sites and DuckDuckGo when searching. Default browser is Mull with Privacy Mode enabled by default.

I honestly don't like that the Chrome based browsers seems to be dominating these days. We need a heterogeneous web render environment to ensure a single dominant player dictates how things will be for users.

And without such competition, I fear there will be a lesser drive to further improve browsers. Just like when Netscape seemed too complacent with their own browsers back in the days.

I use Vivaldi but I would really like to see more attention to quality. Breaking things randomly in minor releases and then taking half a year to fix them is not okay, guys. A public issue tracker would also help, instead of the scream-into-the-void bug report form. I understand that you've taken everything from the old Opera team, but this part should've been left behind.

@jon@vivaldi.net Different Browsers for different situations

• Safari
• Edge
• Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for the gecko engine vs the overwhelming power (and use) of Chrome's Blink.

@jon@vivaldi.net

I'm pretty sure this just reflects "people who know what a browser is", or least "people who know enough about browsers to have an opinion".

@jon@vivaldi.net Pale Moon. It's single-process, so if something goes wrong, I can kill the browser simply. It supports the plugins and extensions I need, want, and use on a daily basis. It doesn't support DRM, RTC, or the concepts pushed on us by DoubleClick. I'm very happy with the browser.

@jon
Many, many comments here. :tony_laughing:

So a lot of interest in this question.
No wonder really, here on 'Mastodon'.

Veery good. :tony_wee:

Maybe someone else is interested in digging through here. ;-) ;-)

I'm sure several people will take a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' afterwards.

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf. Based on Firefox but more lightweight. I'll never use a Chromium-based browser in my life anymore.

@jon@vivaldi.net LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality

LibreWolf and Mull. I did use Chromium recently for a web-based GrapheneOS install, that was kind of cool.

@jon@vivaldi.net Edge because it's the only one on the market that has an option to:

1. Ask if you want to open or save the download
2. If the user wants to open it without saving, it saves it in a temporary directory
3. Automatically deletes that downloaded file when closing the browser

I like to keep my downloads folder clean, sorry 😢

@jon@vivaldi.net
Because 'Vivaldi' is simply the world's best browser for me.

Especially on 'Linux'.
And has been for a long time.

I think it's also worth taking a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' behind it. ;-)

Currently Firefox in first place, then Safari just ahead of Vivaldi here. :tony_unhappy:

I think many people here have simply not yet looked at Vivaldi for all platforms.
Based on 'Chromium', 100% open source.

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen Browser @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

@jon@vivaldi.net #Firefox, because not Chrome.

@jon@vivaldi.net logiciel libre, respect de la vie privée, non inféodé aux GAFAM

@jon@vivaldi.net
I don't have one anymore. They all seem to either embraced tge AI BS, will be ruined be Google's F-ing manifest v3, ir they're made by yucky folk.

As soon as anyone outs out a browser that just shows websites and allows for best possible privacy without dicking around, I'll use that.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for now, although for how much longer is unknown. Over the course of time, it's become slower and somewhat bloated from what I can tell.
I've been tweaking and twiddling another browser, when I have time, to see if a smooth transition can eventually take place.

@jon Arc, with spaces, profiles, boosts, and really considered design decisions, it works really well for what I do.

@jon@vivaldi.net I use Vivaldi for several years on both, desktop (Windows) and mobile (Android), and i can tell you all without fear, without no regrets, that it give me all what i need to surf internet on the better and secure way i ever prof with any other browser

@jon Vivaldi. Because it's better than Firefox. Haters gonna hate.

@jon@vivaldi.net @firefox@fedia.io and @brave@mastodon.social

@jon@vivaldi.net a good browser has good dev tools, and an absence of AI bullshit.

@jon@vivaldi.net I use safari on Mac as it is the only browser that works with the Apple Passwords app. If Vivaldi worked with it I would use that instead

@jon@vivaldi.net Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.

@jon@vivaldi.net #vivaldibrowser is by far the best. It saves me so much time. I need to have many tabs open in several windows in several virtual desktops in several monitors. Workspaces, tabs stacking and tab search are lifesavers. The quick search has a built-in calculator that I use all the time. It's the most innovative and customizable browser there is. Sync is flawless. I use it in Mac, Windows and Android.

#Edge would be my 2nd choice. I like how fast it loads in my old Windows laptop, probably because it's pre-loaded. I like the way Bing presents the search results and the Copilot integration. I love the read-aloud feature. It recognizes the language automatically and it sounds very natural.

@jon Vivaldi is just like home.

The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...

it’s made with love

@jon@vivaldi.net

Brave:
1.- is FOSS
2.- By default it is configured for privacy, I don't have to do anything extra.

#foss #brave @bravebrowser@lemmy.ml #linux #vivaldi

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi + Brave All features potential of Vivaldi (panels, second-level tabs, workspaces, page actions, page tiling, translator, reading list...) + privacy/cookies/certificates/ad-blocker... features of Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf is just better than firefox.

@jon@vivaldi.net
On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

Vivaldi has been my daily driver since 1.0, i can't live without tab tiling and vertical tabs in my work. Would love to have the ability to sort my open tabs by domain or an alpha sort.

Please continue to improve the Adblock functions. It doesn't compare to manifest v2 ublock origin yet.

Loving 7.0 so far!

@jon@vivaldi.net Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another

@jon even if Firefox is my 1st option, but is the 2nd option and I use it almost daily

@jon@vivaldi.net I found out that also Edge is quite nice. Very friendly, the tabs can be moved to the side position, the same panel as in Vivaldi, excellent translator. But there is not so easy to switch between search engines, also not so easy to switch to the main workspace, and there's almost no Speed Dial.
I've been living with Edge (on macOS, imagine) for some months when Vivaldi has several annoying bugs, but later I came back to Vivaldi, and now Edge is my second browser, for some different cases :) Good luck!
