Vivaldi has been a better option for those who love the feel of Opera. But Firefox is an overall better package imo

Floorp is the best of both worlds.

and it really needs a new name

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've been trying out Floorp for a few days now. It's a great browser but honestly I don't see that much of a difference compared to regular Firefox. If I had to pick, my favorite feature from Floorp would be the fact that it packages changes that would normally reuuire fiddling with userChrome.css into simple toggles in about:preferences. I especially like how it makes hiding the horizontal tab bar so easy when I use Tree Style Tabs. That being said, I have fully switched over anyways.

There isn't on "killer feature". It's all of the little nice things that make me want to use it

Isnt Floorp being based on the lower ESR Firefox version a big turnoff, tho?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nope

Elaborate. How is it not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's more stable, and they merge some of the newer stuff

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I want the latest version of my browser tho, I don't want the "stable" version from 6 months ago. Never had a stability problem with Firefox to warrant the wait.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by using it instead of the latest firefox

Vivaldi overheats my Macbook and runs like crap on my PC.
