@jon@vivaldi.net Definitely @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org! #ZenBrowser

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 #zenBrowser

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox and Fennec is great overall between mobile and desktop, especially since extensions for both platforms are supported. Zen looks promising. For chromium, Brave is good, even though I don't like their branding.

@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 Waterfox. It's like Firefox but with all the telemetry crap culled.

@jon@vivaldi.net @ammdias@masto.pt Duckduckgo

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox still allows adblocking, although the bullshit from the Mozilla Foundation is worrying. They seem hellbent on wasting this opportunity.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi because it's much like Firefox but because it's built on Chromium it's so much faster then Firefox

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net - open source every part of Vivalid and then I could consider it for daily driver use.

@jon@vivaldi.net
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.

@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 Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.

@jon@vivaldi.net - on desktop/android: Brave, current chromium based, open source, excellent ad blocking, with the dumb crypto stuff and any "phoning home" easy to turn off, the only one to pass all parts of EFF's browser privacy test, and no embedded tracker libraries. Downside: I do not like the ethics of their CEO.
2nd place on desktop: Librewolf, a current Firefox fork, with the telemetry back to Mozilla turned off.
2nd place on android: Pluma, very lightweight, with good ad blocking

@jon@vivaldi.net Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)

@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 Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

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

@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!

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari is by far the best at just being a web browser and getting out of your way. It's fast, the UI is simple and straightforward, the features it does have feel relevant.

@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 unpopular opinion, I have really been enjoying Edge on Linux, I use to use Opera, but it kept having issues, I hate microsoft and their products, and make a habit of not using or promoting, but Edge fast has a built in reader and I just like it, its weird, and using it on linux I have a bit more stability and security one would normally have with windows and after the past year I have had no issues with it.

@jon@vivaldi.net I like Vivaldi as it reminds me of when I was using Opera around 2008. It has any embedded things like a Feed reader, email, translation and such.

Compatible with Chrome extensions and with vertical tabs.

Also Edge was good enough to work, and now I have to use Chrome which is pretty standard to be productive.

I use Zen for personal stuff and I get a similar feeling as a better Firefox after it self destroyed for me.

@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 Firefox when I want graphics or multimedia, lynx when I want to avoid JavaScript or paywalls.

@jon@vivaldi.net I voted for “other” and the other is Arc. I’m in love with it, even now when it’s almost discontinued in a sense.

@jon@vivaldi.net FIrefox, but it's not my favorite browser. It's the (alleged) alternative to Google. Firefox a lot of the time is very unstable, and crashes. It takes roughly 40 minutes to be usable after it starts to load duckduckgo...."contacting improving duckduckgo" takes up most of the 40 minutes.

@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 #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.

VideoDownloadHelper!

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.

@jon@vivaldi.net

I'm sure somebody here is going to yell at me... But Arc is so damn good on a laptop.

@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 Arc is my go-to these days. I use splits, peeks, and “Little Arc” all the time.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net I went with "Other" because my favorite browser doesn't exist yet.
