@[email protected] Using #Arc browser and loving almost all of it. It's like #Chrome on steroids for UX.

@[email protected] Appropriately set up I use Firefox.🙏

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] I use #Floorp now (Fork of Firefox).

@[email protected] 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.

@[email protected] Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.

@[email protected] I use Watefox, based on Firefox, has Mozilla login/sync and an Android client too

@[email protected] Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC

@[email protected] 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?

@[email protected] 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.

@[email protected] Other

AVG Secure Browser ^^

@[email protected] Firefox, because of the non-monoculture rendering engine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] I use Vivaldi on my Mac because it has a Chromium base, so it has a lot of compatibility benefits that provides, while also providing good privacy and a great experience that I can customize to work how I want it. I used to be a large proponent of Firefox, but I don’t like their recent modus operi of shoving god-knows what into the browser.

I also really like Safari. It’s a great mobile browser, and even on the Mac it gives me good battery life, and syncs across all my Apple devices.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] under Android only Opera and Aloha, under Windows Chrome and Firefox.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

@[email protected] 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,

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] I use safari on Mac as it is the only browser that works with the Apple Passwords app. If Vivaldi worked with it I would use that instead

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@[email protected] Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] , thanks for your support!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (4 children)

@[email protected] 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.

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

@[email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] 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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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!

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

@[email protected] Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] a good browser has good dev tools, and an absence of AI bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] #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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

@jon Vivaldi is just like home.

The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...

it’s made with love

@[email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] #Firefox, because not Chrome.
