@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.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.

[-] mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I'll bite.
Does anyone use #Falkon or #Palemoon?
I use #Vivaldi (Snapshot) for stock trading, #LibraWolf to watch Twitch, & #FireDragon as my main browser.

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 my next browser will be something different maybe ladybird or a browser with servo web engine.
Currently i am using brave and firefox i have tested vivaldi but i find this to be more bloated...and vivaldis selling point is not something unique it is a over skined chromium fork.

[-] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] dandandin@mastodon.uno 1 points 1 week ago

@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 LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome for better Android integration and web unfortunately is made thinking chrome, some sites not open correctly in Firefox so ... A maintain Firefox for web development only, every other task Chrome

[-] nicomede@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] ingolftopf@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

@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

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@vivaldi.net Different Browsers for different situations

  • Safari
  • Edge
  • Brave
[-] chris@social.losno.co 1 points 1 week ago

@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.

[-] mikej@mastodon.online 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I feel no emotional attachment to my browser, but I use firefox.

[-] TheExecEditor@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] markmalstrom@mastodon.social 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net @Gargron@mastodon.social even though it’s more or less been EOL’d, Arc is by far and away my favorite browser I’ve ever used. Every little UX detail just makes so much sense to me. The chromeless UI, sidebar vertical tabs, folder/favorite/pinned tab organization, auto-archiving tabs, tab spaces, automatic PiP activation, quick actions in the ⌘+T omnibar…

[-] andrewc@masto.ai 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I started to really like ARC until recently when I heard they are focusing on a new project. Then I would say Firefox and Safari

[-] cynical13@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

@jon I like Firefox and Vivaldi.

FF is totally open source and often renders fonts better than Chromium-based browsers and the PDF reader is more robust. I'm currently working through an online training module and it's the only PDF program that lets me highlight sections of the provided documentation and will remember changes when I save the document.

Vivaldi has a ton of features and is pretty quick and responsive, especially on Android. Still having odd issues with the mail client and I'm really not sure what to make of or do with the new dashboard though.

[-] IPuyosa@mastodon.social 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Good relationship maerketing.
I used Firefox for many years, and I loved it. Before, I was a Netscape user. But Firefox's performance deteriorated over the years, and I switched to Chrome. When I discovered Brave, I moved to it, but it also had some issues, so I´m back to Chrome. Performance and productivity features are great. I am just very aware of data protection issues when using Google products. Still, use Firefox and Brave for some activities. Would Vivaldi be a good alternative?

[-] jon@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 week ago

@IPuyosa@mastodon.social

Give it a try. There is a lot of productivity features to play with.

[-] silvermoon82@wandering.shop 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
Vivaldi is my daily driver, looking into Librewolf as my not-Chrome.
What I'd really like is the Vivaldi shell, as & tracker blocking, etc, with the Firefox HTML & js engines. No google or moz bullshit, just a nice clean shell and engines.

[-] juuro@mstdn.social 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!

[-] SnowDingo@mastodon.social 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
I love Vivaldi for the theme. The overall design is awesome.
I also love Safari because the battery duration feels way longer when using a Mac.

[-] Busyvar@jlai.lu 1 points 1 week ago

Sometimes i take Vimb for lighter browsing, but for the most time i stay attached to Firefox for the whole browsing experience and sync my tablet, laptop & smartphone with it.

[-] Florprax@toot.community 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Team Firefox.

[-] fredbrooker@witter.cz 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome and Brave - I don't care about Google as we pay a lot of money for SaaS by Google, there's no alternative to

[-] fredbrooker@witter.cz 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %
