Moving from Firefox to Vivaldi? It’s easier than ever. Import your browser data with just one click. 🌟
#Vivaldi #VivaldiBrowser #Firefox #Browser
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net "Is Vivaldi Open Source?"
Short answer: no.
Longer answer: Still no.
Closed source and chromium? That’s a no from me dog.
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
Already moved from #Firefox long back. But #Chromium based #Vivaldi is definitely not an option for me. I am happy with #Librewolf.
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Besides that it's European (not Big Tech), is there any other reason which is convincing for us to make the switch to Vivaldi?
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net I’ve been using Vivaldi for 1-2 weeks now. I really enjoy it. What a fantastic browser 👍
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
BYE Firefox, hello Vivaldi!
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net I've been using Vivaldi as my second browser for a few years now.
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Been test-driving #vivaldi on #macOS and #Linux (I use #Arch BTW). On macOS it works very well, on Linux on the other hand ... it does not have as fluid feeling. It even somehow feels less "smooth" overall as #Firefox or #Chromium on Linux. Yes, I'm nitpicking, but it is what it is.
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net why I would switch from fully open source browser with independent engine to a closed on based on crapware chromium?
Maybe think about adopting servo/gecko?
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net will uBlock Origin work with manifest v3 work, right?
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Liking Vivaldi so far. 👍Quite a few improvements of Firefox.
QQ - how can I save an 80% view settign as default? Every time I open a new tab it resets to 100%.
@BonehouseWasps@mastodon.social
That's good to hear! :tony_happy:
Re: Zoom. Go to Settings > Webpages > Default Webpage Zoom and disable "Use Tab Zoom".
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Amazing - thank you!
Can I be cheeky and ask one more. When I right click to "open link in new tab" is there a way I can stop the new tab from becoming the focus, so I stay on the tab I'm already on?
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Do a PC one. I've d/l it and got it running but it is not importing my Firefox data.
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Yes.
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
does it work the same on linux?
i no longer have a mac that is modern enough, and connects to internet...
