Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@[email protected] 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

@[email protected] Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like

@[email protected] #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

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

@[email protected] Safari, because all my passwords live in iCloud, and I really like how the touch gestures for back and forward work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] 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

@[email protected] Firefox+Fennec+Libre Wolf

@[email protected] 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_[email protected]) 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Librewolf is just better than firefox.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected]
On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @[email protected]

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

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!

@[email protected] Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] , thanks for your support!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] 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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

@[email protected] 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.

@[email protected] Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I've been using it at home for quite some time now. I wonder though why some corporate environments started outright blocking Vivaldi.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Librewolf. Based on Firefox but more lightweight. I'll never use a Chromium-based browser in my life anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Firefox, because of the non-monoculture rendering engine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Selected
Opera for the Android mobile version with auto-reflow on zoom.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected]
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] I use Watefox, based on Firefox, has Mozilla login/sync and an Android client too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Appropriately set up I use Firefox.🙏

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] I hate them all for different reasons. Here are my requirements:

  1. Ad blocker should be the default, no matter what corporations think.
  2. It should be possible to inspect and manipulate the code in real time.
  3. It should be FOSS.
  4. It should not force feed proprietary technologies or antifeatures.
  5. It should not require gazillion of RAM or storage. Why I would need 100-150 MB just for a text?
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@[email protected] Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.
