@jon@vivaldi.net Look at Opera

[-] cri8tive_sol@mastodon.social 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
Safari on iOS (with extensions);
LibreWolf on Windows.

Nothing else. 🛡️

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi. Chromium-based. No AI bullshit. No spyware.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net

Vivaldi is my choice.

Here's why: It's the only browser which doesn't force users into AI or is fully relying on ads. It's the only browser I can donate to per month or year (I won't count Mozilla/Firefox in cause Firefox is a product of the commercial part of Mozilla).
Finally: Vivaldi is the only browser company I know of which is owned by the employees.

I'd prefer to have a fully open source browser but I do understand the reason why Vivaldi isn't.

@jon@vivaldi.net 日本語で書きます。翻訳サイトなど使ってください。
Firefoxは唯一日本語IMEの動作を正しく行ってくれます。なので文節などの変換が見やすく、安心できます。拡張が多くても不安定になりにくいです。Quantumは正しい判断だったと思います。

Chromium系(Elctronも)IMEの処理がおざなりで点線出しとけはいいだろうとしかとれない動作画面です。たまに文節区切りを見失いますし変なところになることがあります。

あとは垂直タブがあるかどうかで、その垂直タブもタブ同士の親子関係が表せられないと意味がないです。
ということでFirefox+Tree Style Tabが使いやすく、その次にVivaldiが来ます。

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox Focus on iOS. Refuses everything by default. Has a “delete session” button.

[-] anomis66@mastodon.me.uk 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I run with @Waterfox@mastodon.social and @brave@mastodon.social on my daily machines, but have access to #Opera, #Edge, #Firefox and #Chrome for UI testing.

@jon@vivaldi.net de puis que je utilise le navigateur Vivaldi j'ai une paix royale en plus des nombreuse fonctionnalité proposé sur ce navigateur Vivaldi je le trouve formidable merci beaucoup monsieur .

@jon@vivaldi.net I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don't want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there's Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.

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

@fluchtkapsel

Indeed, we are using Chromium, but there really is not a lot of choice. I hope you will make the switch. If you liked Opera 12, you will love Vivaldi.

[-] fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.de 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I already use Vivaldi since a botched Chromium browser update about a year ago. It's just a little bit sad that there's neither a lot of choice nor something like Chromium project but on a Gecko basis.

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

@fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.de

I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.

At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.

Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.

[-] davidgreen80@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net After testing all the browsers my favourite is Vivaldi due to their focus on privacy and no crypto crap. I also like to browse their forums which has been helpful to me at times.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net It is my default browsing. Completely customizable, I adjust it to my way and it has many options and pluses such as blog, note taking, RSS reader, translator and much more.

[-] midzer@chaos.social 1 points 1 week ago
[-] ciencia@social.wikidex.net 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because it has good privacy options, and their development tools are very useful

[-] JakeNL@mastodon.nl 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox since early times. Now evaluating Vivaldi on Linux and iPad(I know same browser engine as Safari). Just curious

[-] sgt1372@sfba.social 1 points 1 week ago

@jon@vivaldi.net #DuckDuckGo is my favorite browser.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂

[-] jajo@mastodon.nu 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Ordinare use: Chrome. Security work: Firefox.

[-] Phaseinducer@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net

I use a browser called "Brave". Mostly because I believe it to be the most privacy centric browser available outside of TOR browser.

[-] mammutidae@mastodon.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox and Brave for me. I like both

[-] patrick@o0o.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like

[-] WinNT4@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because I never want to play "choose your favorite Chrome frontend"

[-] bargo@mastodon.tn 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen

[-] johnefrancis@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for now, because of inertia, but the alternatives are definitely being considered.

[-] codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net It changes from time to time, but I do keep coming back to Firefox. It fits like a glove in Linux, has good dev tools and is configurable enough

[-] kubikpixel@chaos.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net i use the #Firefox clones on desktop and mobile for more #privacy & plugins for #security (see links):

[-] oblomov@sociale.network 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I was a long-time Opera aficionado, only dropped it when they switched to WebKit (and then Blink) and the last Presto-based version became obsolete (TLS-wise, mostly). Switched to Firefox, with which I'll stick as long as it maintains Gecko. Would love to jump to Vivaldi, but we need more independent rendering engines for the health of the web.

[-] shadowwwind@fosstodon.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi on android is the only one that does tabs right IMO with the tab bar.
Firefox is nice because it's one of the only ones not using chromium or WebKit and with, finally, vertical tabs I am pretty happy using it on desktop again.
And Vivaldi and Zen Browser because of the amazing split screen feature.
But I prefer Zens sidebar tabs and the fact its also based on Gecko.

So for me it's Zen and Firefox on Desktop and Vivaldi on Android.
Which makes me unable to use sync :/

[-] kevino1@fosstodon.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net no option for brave ? 🤔 otherwise i prefer firefox.

[-] Jerry@feddit.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

Firefox because only it supports (via an extension) having different sessions in different tabs, so I can log into 3 different accounts at the same website at the same time and use the same browser window for all of them. I need this and won't move to a different browser.

[-] bruhSoulz@mastodon.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net ehh probably firefox cus thanks to its existence i have ff forks lol, i use librewolf and now trying out #zenbrowser. zen's pretty damn sweet!

[-] Skaifer@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Zen browsers. Cuz I like customizability. Zen feels faster though. Vivaldi and Fennec on Android.

[-] holly@social.v.st 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Orion! We got a kagi subscription a while back and I enjoyed it so much I decided to try their browser. It blocks youtube ads on all my devices, so it's a keeper

[-] geillescas@techhub.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
I use #Zen because its #Firefox without the drama. Plus workspaces!

@jon@vivaldi.net I was a vivaldi user, and still am, but recently Floorp has won me over. I've been using it full time for the last month, and I'm very happy with it.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox on Android supports extensions, wish Vivaldi did the same!

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

@jon I'm a Vivaldi supporter since V1. Because of open privacy (MV3) and open finger printing support I use more & more FF and Zen in the last months ... ;-( But I love Vivaldi, great team support and the Vivaldi style

[-] p4@masto.ai 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Opera from before the switch to chromium remains my favorite to this day, every browser I've used since doesn't feel as feature complete or as fun as Opera did.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because not chromium based. Vivaldi out of all chromium based

[-] enthusiast101@fosstodon.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
For me I use both Vivaldi and firefox.

I like Vivaldi cause its all about customizability and has decent privacy.

I like firefox because it doesn't have to have chromiums bad choices (not including jpegxl, manifest v3, etc). Of the course the defaults aren't the best, but it is also very customizable (even if its harder to customize than Vivaldi).
