switch to firefox (or a fork of firefox like librewolf).
vivaldi just uses chrome's web store (there's a discussion on the forums to build their own extension store but no movement yet: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/91160/vivaldi-s-own-extension-store/20)
Waterfox runs nicely on pc. Still a little rough on android though
i have ironfox on android.
I didn't realize there were firefox forks, are any of them significantly better than firefox?
~~librefox~~librewolf is very good; it comes with ublock and various other privacy features pre-installed, i've been leaning toward them more just because they embraced mastodon more. mullvad also has one.
i typically go between firefox nightly and ~~librefox~~librewolf.
edit: oops mistyped the name, thanks @KumaSudosa@feddit.dk
Is there actually a librefox too? I only know of Librewolf which I started using
oops, sorry! i'm an idiot and i miss typed! >_>
No worries, happens to the best of us! I was also genuinely wondering if I missed another fork by that name
I use librewolf just because it’s privacy focused.
But, there is also waterfox, floorp, and mercury, just off the top of my head.
Zen is worth checking out. It isn't my favorite, but it's trying to do some cool stuff. It might eventually become my favorite once it becomes more stable.
Right now, I'm digging FireDragon. It has two sidebars: one vertical tab bar and one for gadgets. And the vertical tab bar collapses to icons when you aren't hovering over it.
waterfox, zen, "librewolf is just a rehashed version firefox, if you are looking for android version. you can look at ironfox for mobile.
