I still prefer FF or Vivaldi over Google Chrome. Yes Vivaldi is Open Source Chromium, but at least it doesn't have the Chrome crap in it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

Vivaldi contains Chromium, but it isn't itself open-source, by the way.

They say of themselves that "for all practical purposes the Vivaldi source code is available for audit". I would not fully agree with that either, but I guess, at that point the open-source purists have already lost interest anyways.

It's still the same rendering engine. There are two browsers.

3 if you count Safari

That's like saying there's only 5 games because they use the same game engine

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

You can't compare games to browsers tho

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I'm not comparing them, it's an analogy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I didn't know that each browser accesses different content on a different internet. I'll have to check that out. /s

Is there a mobile Vivaldi counterpart? It doesn't make sense for me that I can't share history with desktop and mobile together

Oh I remember now, it doesn't support extensions

Yeah, I use FF mobile for that reason but mostly Vivaldi on desktop

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

There is, but on iPhone at least it sucks. I love Vivaldi on desktop - every time I try something else I quickly give up. But on mobile I can’t endorse it at the moment.

Perhaps it’s better on Android though, I don’t know.
