    It's somewhat like Firefox used to be, cuztomizable UI and all that... a lot of menus with UI tweaks that just make your browser your own and make your life easier... it brings back what was taken from us when FF made some drastic changes.

    Have you heard of our lord and savior, firefoxcss?

    [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

    Custom CSS is awesome but the lack of any documentation is bogus.

    How is it more customizable than Firefox? Last I used Chromium based browsers, stuff like TreeStyle Tab was impossible besides a hacky separate window whereas extensions in Firefox are able to make those drastic changes to the UI.

    Vivaldi has this functionality baked in. It’s basically Firefox + custom css + extensions in a refined way

    The only thing I kinda miss is the classic download tab, but I got that bookmarked and assigned a keyboard shortcut 😁.

    Vivaldi's vertical tabs are not comparable TreeStyle Tabs, its just a regular tab bar but vertical.

    "Baked in" doesn't really mean anything to me when it's missing functionality and addons are only a click away.

    Vivaldi also has a "window panel" that is basically a tree-style list in your sidebar of all your tabs across all windows and workspaces, and recently closed tabs and sessions.

    Vivaldi's toolbar can be customized just like Firefox, but you additionally also get a bottom bar and a sidebar to place toolbar buttons on.

    Vivaldi has a Spotlight-like search bar you can open with F2 to quickly find a page in your history or type any browser command like hiding the UI. You can also string multiple commands together and add them as a toolbar button.

    You can add websites to your sidebar too to open them in a slide-out window of sorts (basically the same thing as Opera GX's sidebar).

    You can tile multiple tabs to open them in a split or grid view, which I haven't found a way to replicate on Firefox so far.

    And as someone else already mentioned, I personally find installing CSS and JS mods to be a lot more accessible on Vivaldi.

    These features are why I prefer it over firefox, but I am curious about how it will be affectes by Manifest V3, if it losses things like an adblocker and dark reader, witch I doublt, them I will need to use waterfox, but even then, firefox, on phones and specially tablets its way worse

    Vivaldi has released a blog post detailing how they'll handle Manifest v3: https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-webrequest-and-ad-blockers/

    TL;DR: They're confident their built-in adblocker will continue to work despite it.
