@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.

@jon@vivaldi.net #vivaldibrowser is by far the best. It saves me so much time. I need to have many tabs open in several windows in several virtual desktops in several monitors. Workspaces, tabs stacking and tab search are lifesavers. The quick search has a built-in calculator that I use all the time. It's the most innovative and customizable browser there is. Sync is flawless. I use it in Mac, Windows and Android.

#Edge would be my 2nd choice. I like how fast it loads in my old Windows laptop, probably because it's pre-loaded. I like the way Bing presents the search results and the Copilot integration. I love the read-aloud feature. It recognizes the language automatically and it sounds very natural.

@jon@vivaldi.net can't live without Vivaldi's workspaces

@jon Vivaldi is just like home.

The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...

it’s made with love

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen Browser

@jon@vivaldi.net I choose Vivaldi as my favorite because I like many things about it. I use my home computer now for recipes, cash spreadsheets, and a shopping list. I had not previously used social media and this is a nice surprise for me to enjoy it. I used Netscape before Metacrawler and then I used shelves of books until trying Firefox. I used Chrome then Edge before I retired, but used Firefox and DuckDuckGo on home computers until I noticed Vivaldi about two years ago and put it on my home computer and laptop and cellphone. I like its many options and features and forums full of answers to questions I might ever need ask! It gives me a calendar and note and task pads and all sorts of things which optionally can sync and be seen when I use the browser on my cellphone or to choose not to sync. The very best is, when I removed Windows Operating System from my old laptop and replaced it with one of the Linux distributions now this Vivaldi continues to give me my familiar user experience. Thank you, to all and everyone who is and who are responsible for allowing me this user experience which followed me between operating systems, thank you.

I currently use:

Firefox on the desktop
Librewolf on the Linux laptop
Waterfox on my main phone

Vivaldi on my other persona on desktop, laptop and second phone.

Also going to try Floop and Zen.

Ostensibly I want to use Firefox forks but I find Vivaldi pretty cool despite being Chromium, especially on mobile.

TBH, none of them are ideal. I'd love to have one browser with multiple profiles across multiple devices, but I find that doesn't work for me.

@jon@vivaldi.net FIrefox, but it's not my favorite browser. It's the (alleged) alternative to Google. Firefox a lot of the time is very unstable, and crashes. It takes roughly 40 minutes to be usable after it starts to load duckduckgo...."contacting improving duckduckgo" takes up most of the 40 minutes.

Brave:
1.- is FOSS
2.- By default it is configured for privacy, I don't have to do anything extra.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox when I want graphics or multimedia, lynx when I want to avoid JavaScript or paywalls.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi + Brave All features potential of Vivaldi (panels, second-level tabs, workspaces, page actions, page tiling, translator, reading list...) + privacy/cookies/certificates/ad-blocker... features of Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net I voted for “other” and the other is Arc. I’m in love with it, even now when it’s almost discontinued in a sense.

@jon@vivaldi.net I like Vivaldi as it reminds me of when I was using Opera around 2008. It has any embedded things like a Feed reader, email, translation and such.

Compatible with Chrome extensions and with vertical tabs.

Also Edge was good enough to work, and now I have to use Chrome which is pretty standard to be productive.

I use Zen for personal stuff and I get a similar feeling as a better Firefox after it self destroyed for me.

@jon@vivaldi.net

Firefox because it isn't chromium, and I just like it. With chromium, google controls the web. Doesn't matter what kind of wrapper a third party puts on it. It's still chromium and it's still google.

@jon@vivaldi.net unpopular opinion, I have really been enjoying Edge on Linux, I use to use Opera, but it kept having issues, I hate microsoft and their products, and make a habit of not using or promoting, but Edge fast has a built in reader and I just like it, its weird, and using it on linux I have a bit more stability and security one would normally have with windows and after the past year I have had no issues with it.

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari, because all my passwords live in iCloud, and I really like how the touch gestures for back and forward work.

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf is just better than firefox.

@jon@vivaldi.net
On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

Vivaldi has been my daily driver since 1.0, i can't live without tab tiling and vertical tabs in my work. Would love to have the ability to sort my open tabs by domain or an alpha sort.

Please continue to improve the Adblock functions. It doesn't compare to manifest v2 ublock origin yet.

Loving 7.0 so far!

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari is by far the best at just being a web browser and getting out of your way. It's fast, the UI is simple and straightforward, the features it does have feel relevant.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox+Fennec+Libre Wolf

@jon@vivaldi.net Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another

@jon even if Firefox is my 1st option, but is the 2nd option and I use it almost daily

@jon@vivaldi.net

asking us to vote between:

@jon@vivaldi.net I use a plethora of browsers.

I'm migrating fron Firefox to LibreWolf (sorry, I prefer non-chrome based browsers), but have a Ungoogled Chromium as a backup those times Firefox/LibreWolf doesn't cut it (I thought the world had learnt a lesson from the IE days; seems we need to educate a new generation web hipsters).

On Android I use the default browser (in @e_mydata@mastodon.social) for a few news/blog sites, Mull and Vivaldi for some other sites and DuckDuckGo when searching. Default browser is Mull with Privacy Mode enabled by default.

I honestly don't like that the Chrome based browsers seems to be dominating these days. We need a heterogeneous web render environment to ensure a single dominant player dictates how things will be for users.

And without such competition, I fear there will be a lesser drive to further improve browsers. Just like when Netscape seemed too complacent with their own browsers back in the days.

I use Vivaldi but I would really like to see more attention to quality. Breaking things randomly in minor releases and then taking half a year to fix them is not okay, guys. A public issue tracker would also help, instead of the scream-into-the-void bug report form. I understand that you've taken everything from the old Opera team, but this part should've been left behind.

@jon@vivaldi.net I found out that also Edge is quite nice. Very friendly, the tabs can be moved to the side position, the same panel as in Vivaldi, excellent translator. But there is not so easy to switch between search engines, also not so easy to switch to the main workspace, and there's almost no Speed Dial.
I've been living with Edge (on macOS, imagine) for some months when Vivaldi has several annoying bugs, but later I came back to Vivaldi, and now Edge is my second browser, for some different cases :) Good luck!

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net
Other -> LibreWolf

@jon@vivaldi.net Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because of its tweaks. I admire what Vivaldi has achieved, but Firefox can achieve almost the same with extensions. The only thing missing in Firefox are native tab groups, but they are a work in progress according to their site.

If Firefox vanished tomorrow, I would quite likely use Vivaldi. I was an Opera user in the old days. Vivaldi is the only browser that follows that spirit today.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox still allows adblocking, although the bullshit from the Mozilla Foundation is worrying. They seem hellbent on wasting this opportunity.

@jon@vivaldi.net Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)

@jon@vivaldi.net Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, but I can’t really explain why because it’s a lot of tiny things that make it better, but the fact it isn’t Chromium-based is probably the most significant point. And probably a bit of nostalgia too.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi because it's the most like Opera 12.18 and before, at least in spirit.

LibreWolf in second place because it's more privacy focused than FireFox and I got used to FireFox between opera's terrible switch to being chromium-based and Vivaldi being available.

@jon@vivaldi.net #zenBrowser

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi because it's much like Firefox but because it's built on Chromium it's so much faster then Firefox

@jon@vivaldi.net @ammdias@masto.pt Duckduckgo

@jon@vivaldi.net
On macOS it doesn’t feel native like f.e. Orion does. Also often the scrolling feels weird: content not moving as fast as your finger.

@jon@vivaldi.net - open source every part of Vivalid and then I could consider it for daily driver use.
