@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.

[-] TotalSonic@mastodon.social 1 points 21 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net - on desktop/android: Brave, current chromium based, open source, excellent ad blocking, with the dumb crypto stuff and any "phoning home" easy to turn off, the only one to pass all parts of EFF's browser privacy test, and no embedded tracker libraries. Downside: I do not like the ethics of their CEO.
2nd place on desktop: Librewolf, a current Firefox fork, with the telemetry back to Mozilla turned off.
2nd place on android: Pluma, very lightweight, with good ad blocking

I've been using it at home for quite some time now. I wonder though why some corporate environments started outright blocking Vivaldi.

[-] Zotmeister@mastodon.online 1 points 21 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Waterfox. It's like Firefox but with all the telemetry crap culled.

[-] johnglass@ohai.social 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.

[-] Mrcuve0@mastodon.social 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Definitely @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org! #ZenBrowser

[-] bargo@mastodon.tn 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen

[-] ecmartz@mastodon.social 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox and Fennec is great overall between mobile and desktop, especially since extensions for both platforms are supported. Zen looks promising. For chromium, Brave is good, even though I don't like their branding.

[-] toufy@mastodon.social 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net to say that mozilla drove firefox into the ground is an understatement, but right now gecko/firefox (and derivatives) is the only engine/browser that is a viable alternative to blink/chromium monopoly.
in its current state, webkit doesn't stand a chance. plus, i can't live without firefox container tabs and ublock origin.

TL;DR: all browsers suck and i have no favorite, but firefox sucks the least and it is my browser of choice for most things.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, for two reasons: it’s free software and still trying to maintain rendering engine diversity.

[-] mammutidae@mastodon.online 1 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] wbpeckham@techhub.social 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.

[-] lopta@mastodon.social 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net @NCSA Mosaic

[-] sandwichlegend@mastodon.social 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Arc

[-] astifter@mastodon.astifter.com 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because of the non-monoculture rendering engine.

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf. Based on Firefox but more lightweight. I'll never use a Chromium-based browser in my life anymore.

[-] Einhornyordle@mastodon.online 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for now because fuck Chrome/Chromium, but now that Mozilla makes more and more poor decisions I'm hoping that Ladybird will turn out well.

[-] sxa@fosstodon.org 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Selected
Opera for the Android mobile version with auto-reflow on zoom.

[-] Phaseinducer@mastodon.social 1 points 22 hours 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.

[-] Colossal7374@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses

[-] WinNT4@mastodon.social 1 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] bluewave_1@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.

[-] caramelyoghurt@troet.cafe 1 points 22 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC

[-] doug@union.place 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I use Watefox, based on Firefox, has Mozilla login/sync and an Android client too

[-] mister@mastodon.online 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
I’ve used Firefox as long as i can remember, before that i used Netscape.

[-] snow@snowfan.masto.host 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Appropriately set up I use Firefox.🙏

[-] nlupo@macrofurs.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I hate them all for different reasons. Here are my requirements:

  1. Ad blocker should be the default, no matter what corporations think.
  2. It should be possible to inspect and manipulate the code in real time.
  3. It should be FOSS.
  4. It should not force feed proprietary technologies or antifeatures.
  5. It should not require gazillion of RAM or storage. Why I would need 100-150 MB just for a text?
[-] peterbak@mastodon.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave is not listed!

[-] checkmite@mastodon.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi is genuinely every single thing I ever wanted in a browser. I used it for years, but I stopped around 3 months ago and have been using LibreWolf because I decided that I just can't use Chromium anymore.

[-] albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.

[-] caycedo@oye.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net right now zen browser

[-] stinerman@mastodon.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I voted for Firefox/other. I really use Librewolf on desktop and Mull on Android. They are privacy-respecting.

[-] maxxware@mastodon.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox is my primary browser because of containers, Vivaldi is my secondary browser because of the lack of containers.

[-] vadhakara@mastodon.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, for the last ~20 years. I've switched to something else a few times, but I always end up coming back when whatever it was I switched to turns to garbage in various ways.

[-] YurkshireLad@mastodon.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because of the extensions and it doesn’t use Chromium.

[-] pdh_sedlr@mastodont.cat 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net brave o waterfox

[-] itokoi@mastodon.sdf.org 1 points 23 hours ago

[-] MichaelBishop@mastodon.world 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Waterfox.

[-] izaera@fosstodon.org 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox. Especially because it has containers.

[-] zbrando@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net For me on Windows performance is more or less the same for all the above browsers. Edge is decent and do all what the average user needs. I like Vivaldi because is tweakable (I like the idea of the mail client but something on the UI doesn't work for me, maybe I'm only used with Outlook). Firefox because I use it since it was Phoenix and I'm so sorry it is dieing.

[-] robin@mastodon.grml.de 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
Checked FF on Desktop but use Fennec on Android because it's not Chrome🤷

[-] Lautaro_Ferrero@mastodon.social 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because it's the only one who hasn't made me "fresh things" since I use it and always announce what they're going to put in the browser.
For now it has its clean interface and without any advertising or sponsors, it is also the only one that meets the web standards.

[-] schnedan@social.tchncs.de 1 points 23 hours ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I used FF since its first release, its my workhorse, and I use a lot of privacy plugins. I like the Interface, its fast, zoom is good, And my perception is, the plugin interface is more open and there are more powerful plugins as with chome based browsers

also I liked opera in the past and such the vivaldi concept is really nice.
its fast, the redraw when zooming is distracting, zoom could have more finer steps,
