@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because of its tweaks. I admire what Vivaldi has achieved, but Firefox can achieve almost the same with extensions. The only thing missing in Firefox are native tab groups, but they are a work in progress according to their site.
If Firefox vanished tomorrow, I would quite likely use Vivaldi. I was an Opera user in the old days. Vivaldi is the only browser that follows that spirit today.
@jon@vivaldi.net Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)
@jon@vivaldi.net Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, but I can’t really explain why because it’s a lot of tiny things that make it better, but the fact it isn’t Chromium-based is probably the most significant point. And probably a bit of nostalgia too.
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi because it's the most like Opera 12.18 and before, at least in spirit.
LibreWolf in second place because it's more privacy focused than FireFox and I got used to FireFox between opera's terrible switch to being chromium-based and Vivaldi being available.

On macOS it doesn’t feel native like f.e. Orion does. Also often the scrolling feels weird: content not moving as fast as your finger.
I've been using it at home for quite some time now. I wonder though why some corporate environments started outright blocking Vivaldi.
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.
@jon@vivaldi.net Zen
@jon@vivaldi.net I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because of the non-monoculture rendering engine.
@jon@vivaldi.net Selected
Opera for the Android mobile version with auto-reflow on zoom.
@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses
@jon@vivaldi.net
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.
@jon@vivaldi.net Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC
@jon@vivaldi.net I use Watefox, based on Firefox, has Mozilla login/sync and an Android client too
@jon@vivaldi.net Appropriately set up I use Firefox.🙏
@jon@vivaldi.net I hate them all for different reasons. Here are my requirements:
- Ad blocker should be the default, no matter what corporations think.
- It should be possible to inspect and manipulate the code in real time.
- It should be FOSS.
- It should not force feed proprietary technologies or antifeatures.
- It should not require gazillion of RAM or storage. Why I would need 100-150 MB just for a text?
@jon@vivaldi.net Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.
@jon@vivaldi.net right now zen browser
@jon@vivaldi.net brave o waterfox
@jon@vivaldi.net about:config
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Waterfox.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox. Especially because it has containers.
@jon@vivaldi.net For me on Windows performance is more or less the same for all the above browsers. Edge is decent and do all what the average user needs. I like Vivaldi because is tweakable (I like the idea of the mail client but something on the UI doesn't work for me, maybe I'm only used with Outlook). Firefox because I use it since it was Phoenix and I'm so sorry it is dieing.
@jon@vivaldi.net
Checked FF on Desktop but use Fennec on Android because it's not Chrome🤷
@jon@vivaldi.net I used FF since its first release, its my workhorse, and I use a lot of privacy plugins. I like the Interface, its fast, zoom is good, And my perception is, the plugin interface is more open and there are more powerful plugins as with chome based browsers
also I liked opera in the past and such the vivaldi concept is really nice.
its fast, the redraw when zooming is distracting, zoom could have more finer steps,
@jon@vivaldi.net under Android only Opera and Aloha, under Windows Chrome and Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net I’m a Safari user. Mostly because integration and it is not built by/for ad money.
Apple's ad business is a $4B/year industry, the vast majority of it from web searches in Safari.
@jon@vivaldi.net @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org
@jon@vivaldi.net Using #Arc browser and loving almost all of it. It's like #Chrome on steroids for UX.
@jon@vivaldi.net Ordinare use: Chrome. Security work: Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net None. All have flaws.
Browsers are poorly designed, fundamentally. There is no reason to have media player, etc, into what should be a text / hyperlink display.
The only good thing about Vivaldi is F2ing (screenshot). Otherwise you provide bloatware filled with quirks.
@jon@vivaldi.net i kind of hate them all, each for a different reason...
@jon@vivaldi.net my favourite is Zen.
@jon@vivaldi.net I use Vivaldi on my Mac because it has a Chromium base, so it has a lot of compatibility benefits that provides, while also providing good privacy and a great experience that I can customize to work how I want it. I used to be a large proponent of Firefox, but I don’t like their recent modus operi of shoving god-knows what into the browser.
I also really like Safari. It’s a great mobile browser, and even on the Mac it gives me good battery life, and syncs across all my Apple devices.
@jon@vivaldi.net
There's no one. Hopefully Servo or Ladybird helps me decide.
@jon@vivaldi.net brave
@jon@vivaldi.net
Brave
@jon@vivaldi.net Team Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net Brave... because it loads fast, and has the best built in ad blocking. Please change your ad-blocker accordingly.
@jon@vivaldi.net Other
AVG Secure Browser ^^
@jon@vivaldi.net
I use Chromium which is a complete browser that every Chromium based browser uses. It gets the work done.
Firefox for everything else.
