Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful

No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@[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.

Thanks for your kind words. Did you try Workspaces in Vivaldi as well? Quick commands? The searchable Window panel?
@[email protected] Yes, I did. I'm not fan of Workspaces, but I get the idea. Quick comands, not yet; the searchable windows not either.
I do not tend to have so many tabs open at the same time, I guess.
@[email protected] OK, I tried them. They are nice to have, but for users who manage many tabs at the same time. It is not my case.
One thing I like a lot about Firefox is the about:config page. My main change is content.notify.backoffcount > 0. It stops the browser partial refreshes, and shows a web page only when its parts finished loading. In my experience, it makes the browsing faster and more comfortable for my eyes.
It could be a nice switch to have in Vivaldi too.
@[email protected] (Although Chromium-based browsers' main selling point is speed.)
Firefox does not have tab groups or workspaces (yet?) but you can mimic the experience with Sidebery.
