@[email protected] I love Safari because it's not chrome & it's got sleek apple design & it means I don't have to use the loathsome firefox
I use Chromium which is a complete browser that every Chromium based browser uses. It gets the work done.
Firefox for everything else.
@jon Firefox on Desktop, Vivaldi on mobile.
Vivaldi is close for me on Mobile because it works really well, but I'm using the Fennec version of Firefox from F-droid currently and it's a favorite, with Vivaldi close behind. Close on mobile because it's the second closest thing for me on privacy goals, and Firefox & forks on Android are a bit buggy.
Firefox (preferably forks) on desktop fully because of the UI being open source, no slight against Vivaldi for that, I fully understand the reasoning for not doing so. I just prefer open source so I bias towards as much as possible of it when not overly difficult to do so.
I do not trust Mozilla, more open source nature of the app allows me to take trust of ownership out of the equation a bit, especially so with forks.
@[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] I’m a Safari user. Mostly because integration and it is not built by/for ad money.
Apple's ad business is a $4B/year industry, the vast majority of it from web searches in Safari.
@[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.

I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.
@[email protected] Using #Arc browser and loving almost all of it. It's like #Chrome on steroids for UX.
@[email protected] Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses
@[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,
@[email protected] I hate them all for different reasons. Here are my requirements:
- Ad blocker should be the default, no matter what corporations think.
- It should be possible to inspect and manipulate the code in real time.
- It should be FOSS.
- It should not force feed proprietary technologies or antifeatures.
- It should not require gazillion of RAM or storage. Why I would need 100-150 MB just for a text?
@[email protected] Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC
@[email protected] Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.
I've been using it at home for quite some time now. I wonder though why some corporate environments started outright blocking Vivaldi.

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] 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] 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.
@[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!

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