@jon@vivaldi.net After testing all the browsers my favourite is Vivaldi due to their focus on privacy and no crypto crap. I also like to browse their forums which has been helpful to me at times.
@jon@vivaldi.net I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don't want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there's Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.
@fluchtkapsel
Indeed, we are using Chromium, but there really is not a lot of choice. I hope you will make the switch. If you liked Opera 12, you will love Vivaldi.
@jon@vivaldi.net I already use Vivaldi since a botched Chromium browser update about a year ago. It's just a little bit sad that there's neither a lot of choice nor something like Chromium project but on a Gecko basis.
@fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.de
I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.
At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.
Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.
@jon@vivaldi.net I run with @Waterfox@mastodon.social and @brave@mastodon.social on my daily machines, but have access to #Opera, #Edge, #Firefox and #Chrome for UI testing.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox Focus on iOS. Refuses everything by default. Has a “delete session” button.
@jon@vivaldi.net I’m currently trying Zen, which is FF inside and Arc outside, basically.
Re: why, I think Chrome is the new IE6, and we need more engines to keep the web open
@jon@vivaldi.net @kazuhito@vivaldi.net Waterfox and Qutebrowser!
@jon@vivaldi.net 日本語で書きます。翻訳サイトなど使ってください。
Firefoxは唯一日本語IMEの動作を正しく行ってくれます。なので文節などの変換が見やすく、安心できます。拡張が多くても不安定になりにくいです。Quantumは正しい判断だったと思います。
Chromium系（Elctronも）IMEの処理がおざなりで点線出しとけはいいだろうとしかとれない動作画面です。たまに文節区切りを見失いますし変なところになることがあります。
あとは垂直タブがあるかどうかで、その垂直タブもタブ同士の親子関係が表せられないと意味がないです。
ということでFirefox+Tree Style Tabが使いやすく、その次にVivaldiが来ます。
@jon@vivaldi.net
General usage: LibreWolf
Dev: Polypane by @Kilian@mastodon.social
@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo
@jon@vivaldi.net as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂
@jon@vivaldi.net I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %
Sometimes i take Vimb for lighter browsing, but for the most time i stay attached to Firefox for the whole browsing experience and sync my tablet, laptop & smartphone with it.
@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome and Brave - I don't care about Google as we pay a lot of money for SaaS by Google, there's no alternative to
ads blocked by AdGuard DNS
@jon@vivaldi.net Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!
@jon@vivaldi.net
#Firefox got a ton of variants/forks recently.
- #Librewolf
- #MullvadBrowser
- #ZenBrowser
- #Midori
So yeah I take Firefox + Arkenfox user.js or Librewolf if they fixed their CI/CD
TIL Midori migrated to Gecko in 2019
@jon@vivaldi.net
Vivaldi is my daily driver, looking into Librewolf as my not-Chrome.
What I'd really like is the Vivaldi shell, as & tracker blocking, etc, with the Firefox HTML & js engines. No google or moz bullshit, just a nice clean shell and engines.
@jon@vivaldi.net After dropping Opera, I now mostly use Waterfox. Vivaldi is also on my desktop and laptop. But so is Brave, Firefox and DuckDuckGO. Edge is also on there, but only because MS won't allow me to remove it :(
@jon@vivaldi.net
Just wish Google was not used in vivaldi , so when I don't want their influence I use ddg . if there is a way to keep Google completely out of Vivaldi. I'd like to know how.
Thanks MTT
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, despite Mozilla’s current trajectory because the Chromium monopoly will ultimately harm the web.
Hope to use @servo@floss.social someday 🤞
WaterFox!
@jon I’ve been using Vivaldi lately, but I also like Firefox and Librewolf. However the internet today feels like that of 2000, so many websites only work with todays IE (Chrome), so yeah, the options are either Chromium or Gecko; and the latter doesn’t work for all websites.
It’s a very sad state of affairs.
@jon@vivaldi.net I started to really like ARC until recently when I heard they are focusing on a new project. Then I would say Firefox and Safari
@jon@vivaldi.net I use chrome because I have a chromebook right now, but when I'm running Linux its librewolf
#Firefox because of Multi-Account Containers
@jon@vivaldi.net Brave, as you get a Chromium experience without Google nasties and a built in ad/tracker blocker
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because its the only real alternative to chrome and its clones, firefox its still the most customizable browser, vivaldi its the second, but the biggest con of vivaldi feels that its the slower among chrome clones
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox is my favorite when I can use it, but at least on my new Mac, I found Firefox was misbehaving for inexplicable reasons. Shrug, I don’t mind Safari that much, and for when AdGuard for Safari isn’t working, I also have AdGuard Home running on my home network.
@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 like Zen browser because it comes with vertical tabs, screenshot feature, and familiar dev tools.
Moreover, unlike Safari, it works well on macOS and Slack notification. When I checked my Slack tab on Safari, I usually found that it didn't load the page yet although I didn't shutdown or restart the computer.
@jon@vivaldi.net Different Browsers for different situations
- Safari
- Edge
- Brave
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for the gecko engine vs the overwhelming power (and use) of Chrome's Blink.
@jon@vivaldi.net
I'm pretty sure this just reflects "people who know what a browser is", or least "people who know enough about browsers to have an opinion".
@jon@vivaldi.net Pale Moon. It's single-process, so if something goes wrong, I can kill the browser simply. It supports the plugins and extensions I need, want, and use on a daily basis. It doesn't support DRM, RTC, or the concepts pushed on us by DoubleClick. I'm very happy with the browser.
@jon
Many, many comments here. :tony_laughing:
So a lot of interest in this question.
No wonder really, here on 'Mastodon'.
Veery good. :tony_wee:
Maybe someone else is interested in digging through here. ;-) ;-)
I'm sure several people will take a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' afterwards.

@jon@vivaldi.net
Firefox because it isn't chromium, and I just like it. With chromium, google controls the web. Doesn't matter what kind of wrapper a third party puts on it. It's still chromium and it's still google.
@jon@vivaldi.net LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality
@jon@vivaldi.net
I currently use:
Firefox on the desktop
Librewolf on the Linux laptop
Waterfox on my main phone
Vivaldi on my other persona on desktop, laptop and second phone.
Also going to try Floop and Zen.
Ostensibly I want to use Firefox forks but I find Vivaldi pretty cool despite being Chromium, especially on mobile.
TBH, none of them are ideal. I'd love to have one browser with multiple profiles across multiple devices, but I find that doesn't work for me.
