I'm using Liftoff until Boost is released

That's probably just a mistake in the listing. We will see what it will require once it's released.

He did initially say that he wasn't going to release Boost for Lemmy https://i.imgur.com/oEJTEaI.png

Vivaldi ftw

it's incredibly smooth and fast for not being an actual app.

Boost has been my favorite app for a while now.

Fuck spez.

Edit: rmayayo said he's releasing Boost for Lemmy!!! Woohoo!

Anything you don't need can be disabled. I personally use the built in mail client and prefer it over Thunderbird etc.

Same here, tried a bunch of apps, but none of them came even close to Boost. I'm sad af that I'll have to stop using it in a couple of days and that there won't be Boost for Lemmy.

https://wefwef.app/ is surprisingly good, by far the best Lemmy app I've tried so far.

Parts of it are. Vivaldi wants to retain its brand and doesn’t want people making forks and potentially tarnishing its reputation. And given how unpopular it is, they can’t really afford that to happen. I personally have no issues with Vivaldi wanting to keep things that way and I don’t mind it not being completely FOSS. Given how absolutely amazing the browser is and how customizable and feature-packed it is, it’s absolutely irresistible for me not to use it.

Here's a blog post from Vivaldi about it not being completely FOSS and their reasoning

They've also got a great privacy policy so I'm not concerned with privacy either.

Fun fact: Vivaldi is the go to browser for car makers such as Lamborghini, Mercedes, Audi and other car manufacturers https://vivaldi.com/android/automotive/
