@jon@vivaldi.net After dropping Opera, I now mostly use Waterfox. Vivaldi is also on my desktop and laptop. But so is Brave, Firefox and DuckDuckGO. Edge is also on there, but only because MS won't allow me to remove it :(

@jon@vivaldi.net I’ve been using Vivaldi lately, but I also like Firefox and Librewolf. However the internet today feels like that of 2000, so many websites only work with todays IE (Chrome), so yeah, the options are either Chromium or Gecko; and the latter doesn’t work for all websites.

It’s a very sad state of affairs.

@Karen5Lund@mastodon.social

@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

@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…

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

@jon@vivaldi.net
Just wish Google was not used in vivaldi , so when I don't want their influence I use ddg . if there is a way to keep Google completely out of Vivaldi. I'd like to know how.
Thanks MTT

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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox since forever, but with a 2-3 year spell with Opera around 2005 (when Firefox was indescribably slow and unusable). Now just inertia keeping me there. And the feeling that it’s the last hold-out of non-Chromium based browsers. And more recently, continued Manifest v2 support.

#Firefox because of Multi-Account Containers

@jon@vivaldi.net Different Browsers for different situations

• Safari
• Edge
• Brave

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because its the only real alternative to chrome and its clones, firefox its still the most customizable browser, vivaldi its the second, but the biggest con of vivaldi feels that its the slower among chrome clones

@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 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

@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 LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality

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

@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.

:tony_happy: :tony_smiling: :tony_wee:

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen Browser @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

@jon@vivaldi.net Arc, with spaces, profiles, boosts, and really considered design decisions, it works really well for what I do.

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net #Firefox, because not Chrome.

@jon@vivaldi.net logiciel libre, respect de la vie privée, non inféodé aux GAFAM

@jon@vivaldi.net
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 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.

@jon@vivaldi.net brave and librewolf

@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, despite Mozilla’s current trajectory because the Chromium monopoly will ultimately harm the web.

Hope to use @servo@floss.social someday 🤞

@jon Vivaldi. Because it's better than Firefox. Haters gonna hate.

@jon@vivaldi.net This list only has 3 browsers on it.

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

Firefox right now, and pretty happy with it, but Vivaldi is increasingly starting to sound like a contender.

@jon@vivaldi.net I like Zen browser because it comes with vertical tabs, screenshot feature, and familiar dev tools.

Moreover, unlike Safari, it works well on macOS and Slack notification. When I checked my Slack tab on Safari, I usually found that it didn't load the page yet although I didn't shutdown or restart the computer.

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

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