@jon@vivaldi.net : And my second favorite is Lynx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)

@jon@vivaldi.net 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!

@jon@vivaldi.net LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality

Firefox because only it supports (via an extension) having different sessions in different tabs, so I can log into 3 different accounts at the same website at the same time and use the same browser window for all of them. I need this and won't move to a different browser.

@jon@vivaldi.net

OmniWeb

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because of the extensions and it doesn’t use Chromium.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox is my primary browser because of containers, Vivaldi is my secondary browser because of the lack of containers.

@jon@vivaldi.net I voted for Firefox/other. I really use Librewolf on desktop and Mull on Android. They are privacy-respecting.

@jon@vivaldi.net
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.

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!

@jon@vivaldi.net Team Firefox.

@jon@vivaldi.net I have and like Firefox and have used it off and on for years. It also comes standard with Ubuntu, which is the OS I'm currently using. However, I've had some issues with it playing streaming content, so I installed Chromuim (open source browser based on Chrome), and that's what I use most and like a lot. I also have used all the others listed and a few more as well. They're all basically functional. The main issue is privacy, but I haven't been that concerned about it as much as I should.

I've been using it at home for quite some time now. I wonder though why some corporate environments started outright blocking Vivaldi.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Zen browsers. Cuz I like customizability. Zen feels faster though. Vivaldi and Fennec on Android.

@jon@vivaldi.net I’m a Safari user. Mostly because integration and it is not built by/for ad money.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.

@jon@vivaldi.net my favourite is Zen.

@jon@vivaldi.net I don't have a favorite browser at the moment. The one I currently use is brave, but there are several things about it that I don't like.

I've yet to find a browser that doesn't break my workflow in a critical way that also isn't brave.

I have several manifest v2 extensions that I'm not going to be giving up.

So until a browser has a tab discard mechanism that can be configured to not auto un-discard a tab on focus, and has a way to force immediate discarding, brave is where I stay.

@jon@vivaldi.net

I use a browser called "Brave". Mostly because I believe it to be the most privacy centric browser available outside of TOR browser.

@jon@vivaldi.net I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.

Hi @jon@vivaldi.net

As a technology enthusiast, I’d like to share my perspective on this.

Firefox has been my go-to browser for a while, mainly because of:

1. Multi-Account Containers: Perfect for managing multiple profiles or accounts seamlessly.
2. RAM Efficiency: It’s lightweight and doesn’t hog system resources.
3. Privacy Focus: With its 100% open-source nature and stellar reputation as a privacy-first browser, it’s hard to beat.

Vivaldi, on the other hand, has a special place in my heart for its unique and productivity-oriented features:

1. Page Tiling: A brilliant tool for working with multiple pages side by side—ideal for multitaskers.
2. Plain Text/Markdown Notes: This feature is a gem for academic researchers and avid readers like me, making it easy to jot down notes directly from web pages.
3. Web Panels: Super handy for accessing frequently used sites without leaving your main tabs.
4. Customizable Dashboard: A lovely productivity hub and a virtual assistant.

A Few Observations

While Vivaldi excels in many areas, there are a couple of things I’d like to highlight:

High RAM Usage: Vivaldi can be quite demanding on memory.
Text-to-Speech Feature: Adding a natural and seamless "Read Aloud" feature would make it even more user-friendly.

Cheers 😊

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses

@jon@vivaldi.net I use safari on Mac as it is the only browser that works with the Apple Passwords app. If Vivaldi worked with it I would use that instead

@jon@vivaldi.net This list only has 3 browsers on it.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox still allows adblocking, although the bullshit from the Mozilla Foundation is worrying. They seem hellbent on wasting this opportunity.

@jon@vivaldi.net safari and Firefox. Alternative to chromium-based browsers.

@jon@vivaldi.net 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

@jon@vivaldi.net 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,

@jon@vivaldi.net Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.

@jon@vivaldi.net Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, for two reasons: it’s free software and still trying to maintain rendering engine diversity.

@jon@vivaldi.net I use Vivaldi for several years on both, desktop (Windows) and mobile (Android), and i can tell you all without fear, without no regrets, that it give me all what i need to surf internet on the better and secure way i ever prof with any other browser

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox and Fennec is great overall between mobile and desktop, especially since extensions for both platforms are supported. Zen looks promising. For chromium, Brave is good, even though I don't like their branding.

@jon@vivaldi.net 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.

@jon@vivaldi.net Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another

@jon@vivaldi.net can't live without Vivaldi's workspaces

@jon@vivaldi.net Arc is my go-to these days. I use splits, peeks, and “Little Arc” all the time.

@jon@vivaldi.net unpopular opinion, I have really been enjoying Edge on Linux, I use to use Opera, but it kept having issues, I hate microsoft and their products, and make a habit of not using or promoting, but Edge fast has a built in reader and I just like it, its weird, and using it on linux I have a bit more stability and security one would normally have with windows and after the past year I have had no issues with it.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for now because fuck Chrome/Chromium, but now that Mozilla makes more and more poor decisions I'm hoping that Ladybird will turn out well.

@jon@vivaldi.net @firefox@fedia.io and @brave@mastodon.social

@jon@vivaldi.net

Brave:
1.- is FOSS
2.- By default it is configured for privacy, I don't have to do anything extra.

#foss #brave @bravebrowser@lemmy.ml #linux #vivaldi

@jon@vivaldi.net
On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf is just better than firefox.

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.

@jon@vivaldi.net Arc, with spaces, profiles, boosts, and really considered design decisions, it works really well for what I do.

@jon@vivaldi.net I voted for “other” and the other is Arc. I’m in love with it, even now when it’s almost discontinued in a sense.
