With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I can't find librewolf on the play store so I went with vivaldi

Doesn't playstore defeat the purpose.

Using that logic I might as well ditch my android phone and go back to using a Nokia 3310

Sure but I'd rather not go through that trouble. I know it's short sighted to choose convenience over privacy but Google has all my data anyways, regardless of what I do.

What are the benefits of Vivaldi over Firefox? Any downsides?

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

I use Vivaldi on desktop, but due to having problems with Firefox for Android I switched to Kiwi on mobile as it has basically full extension support. It's Chromium, and I'm not sure if it's maintained well or what, but I haven't had any problems with it, whereas Firefox would just stop loading pages after a bit and it didn't get fixed for a year or so and I got fed up.

mull is essentially the same as librewolf. It isn't available on the play store though.
