So, we're not leaving Firefox after all?

(re, an earlier post, I guess I can replace Chrome with Vivaldi and keep on using Firefox, then)

Alright, trying to leave both Chrome and Firefox at the same time is difficult, especially because I always use multiple browsers at the same time (to separate accounts for this or that without having by DavidBHimself in c/firefox@fedia.io

@adnan@1210.nl I don't think that there is a "one size fits all" as far as instances are concerned. Solo instances serve a purpose, small instances with friends too (I've been trying to do that too, with little success too), as well as large instances. But after having tried all sizes, I like being in control of what's going on as much as possible, so being my own admin or know the admin more or less personally.

@adnan@1210.nl Thanks for your feedback. Why do you want to migrate your Mastodon account to their instance, though? My Mastodon account (not this one) is on a solo instance and I can't imagine moving it back to a bigger instance.

@moody@lemmings.world The last time I tried containers, I didn't find them very practical. But I'll try again. Still, I like using different browsers, it helps keeps things clear and separate in my mind too ("this goes on this browser, that goes on that browser")

@foaylward@genomic.social
Thanks.
Does Vivaldi syncs between devices? I tried it a while ago, but very briefly and it didn't seem to automatically sync (but maybe I missed something)

Alright, trying to leave both Chrome and Firefox at the same time is difficult, especially because I always use multiple browsers at the same time (to separate accounts for this or that without having to switch accounts constantly). My current browser number three is Opera and so far, I'm not touching it (we'll see in the future).

My questions are basically: are LibreWolf and Vivaldi viable replacements as main browsers?

My main concerns are whether LibreWolf is mature enough and if both allow syncing between different devices (as I regularly use three computers).

Any constructive feedback is welcome.

(suggesting me to use that another browser I haven't mentioning without explaining why in detail is not constructive feedback, thank you)
