- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

further contribution to the google chrome hegemony
My job basically requires that I use Chrome (I work for a SaaS company whose product’s advance features only work on Chromium). Vivaldi has, at least so far, performed the best, offered the most customization that suited my needs, and isn’t Chrome/Edge. I liked Arc as well, but it has the same issues that Vivaldi has.
I don’t like Brave due to its push of AI/crypto, and Opera doesn’t really work with some of our internal apps.
As a decades long Firefox user it sucks, but I don’t have much of a choice when it comes to work. It’s tough finding alternatives built on Chromium that accomplish everything I need without there being some major caveat.
Ok. Anything else?
sure. i also dislike that it's a closed source product created by a private company that could rug pull all the users to turn a quick buck at any time. they haven't in the last 10 years, and come from a legacy of a company that was very respectful of their customers (opera) but you could also argue the legacy of opera being bought by a spyware company was the last rugpull and that vivaldi will inevitably do the same. but that's a more abstract complaint
Dude. The day any other browser comes close to the functionality of Vivaldi, I'll switch. But from my experience with Firefox and Brave, that's far in the future.
what functionality do other browsers lack? i really mean it. my question is "why vivaldi of all things" and i still don't think i know
I was really hoping for an answer. But it looks like Vivaldi is the best browser, because it has mouse gestures like no other.
Mouse gestures. For me, they are a must, I can't browse without them.
