Because 'Vivaldi' is simply the world's best browser for me.
Especially on 'Linux'.
And has been for a long time.
I think it's also worth taking a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' behind it. ;-)
Currently Firefox in first place, then Safari just ahead of Vivaldi here. :tony_unhappy:
I think many people here have simply not yet looked at Vivaldi for all platforms.
Based on 'Chromium', 100% open source.
:tony_happy: :tony_smiling: :tony_wee:
@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net logiciel libre, respect de la vie privée, non inféodé aux GAFAM
@jon@vivaldi.net
I don't have one anymore. They all seem to either embraced tge AI BS, will be ruined be Google's F-ing manifest v3, ir they're made by yucky folk.
As soon as anyone outs out a browser that just shows websites and allows for best possible privacy without dicking around, I'll use that.
@jon@vivaldi.net Zen Browser
Firefox right now, and pretty happy with it, but Vivaldi is increasingly starting to sound like a contender.
@jon@vivaldi.net I choose Vivaldi as my favorite because I like many things about it. I use my home computer now for recipes, cash spreadsheets, and a shopping list. I had not previously used social media and this is a nice surprise for me to enjoy it. I used Netscape before Metacrawler and then I used shelves of books until trying Firefox. I used Chrome then Edge before I retired, but used Firefox and DuckDuckGo on home computers until I noticed Vivaldi about two years ago and put it on my home computer and laptop and cellphone. I like its many options and features and forums full of answers to questions I might ever need ask! It gives me a calendar and note and task pads and all sorts of things which optionally can sync and be seen when I use the browser on my cellphone or to choose not to sync. The very best is, when I removed Windows Operating System from my old laptop and replaced it with one of the Linux distributions now this Vivaldi continues to give me my familiar user experience. Thank you, to all and everyone who is and who are responsible for allowing me this user experience which followed me between operating systems, thank you.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for now, although for how much longer is unknown. Over the course of time, it's become slower and somewhat bloated from what I can tell.
I've been tweaking and twiddling another browser, when I have time, to see if a smooth transition can eventually take place.
@jon@vivaldi.net Brave
@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 can't live without Vivaldi's workspaces
@VileLasagna@mastodon.gamedev.place
We will do our best to keep you happy. We will not least continue to improve our ad blocker.
@jon@vivaldi.net @firefox@fedia.io and @brave@mastodon.social
@jon@vivaldi.net
Other -> LibreWolf
@jon@vivaldi.net Safari, because all my passwords live in iCloud, and I really like how the touch gestures for back and forward work.
@jon@vivaldi.net a good browser has good dev tools, and an absence of AI bullshit.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox+Fennec+Libre Wolf
@jon@vivaldi.net I use a plethora of browsers.
I'm migrating fron Firefox to LibreWolf (sorry, I prefer non-chrome based browsers), but have a Ungoogled Chromium as a backup those times Firefox/LibreWolf doesn't cut it (I thought the world had learnt a lesson from the IE days; seems we need to educate a new generation web hipsters).
On Android I use the default browser (in @e_mydata@mastodon.social) for a few news/blog sites, Mull and Vivaldi for some other sites and DuckDuckGo when searching. Default browser is Mull with Privacy Mode enabled by default.
I honestly don't like that the Chrome based browsers seems to be dominating these days. We need a heterogeneous web render environment to ensure a single dominant player dictates how things will be for users.
And without such competition, I fear there will be a lesser drive to further improve browsers. Just like when Netscape seemed too complacent with their own browsers back in the days.
I use Vivaldi but I would really like to see more attention to quality. Breaking things randomly in minor releases and then taking half a year to fix them is not okay, guys. A public issue tracker would also help, instead of the scream-into-the-void bug report form. I understand that you've taken everything from the old Opera team, but this part should've been left behind.
@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 Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like
@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.
@cassolotl@eldritch.cafe
Have your tried tab stacks and workspaces in Vivaldi?
@jon@vivaldi.net #vivaldibrowser is by far the best. It saves me so much time. I need to have many tabs open in several windows in several virtual desktops in several monitors. Workspaces, tabs stacking and tab search are lifesavers. The quick search has a built-in calculator that I use all the time. It's the most innovative and customizable browser there is. Sync is flawless. I use it in Mac, Windows and Android.
#Edge would be my 2nd choice. I like how fast it loads in my old Windows laptop, probably because it's pre-loaded. I like the way Bing presents the search results and the Copilot integration. I love the read-aloud feature. It recognizes the language automatically and it sounds very natural.
@jon Vivaldi is just like home.
The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...
it’s made with love
@claridelune@vivaldi.net , glad you like it!
@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 Vivaldi + Brave All features potential of Vivaldi (panels, second-level tabs, workspaces, page actions, page tiling, translator, reading list...) + privacy/cookies/certificates/ad-blocker... features of Brave
@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf. Based on Firefox but more lightweight. I'll never use a Chromium-based browser in my life anymore.
@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf is just better than firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net
On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.
@jon@vivaldi.net Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org
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!
@Mossheart@lemmy.ca
Glad to hear that. Thanks for your support.
Have you tried looking at the Windows panel? You can sort tabs there. The search there is pretty helpful as well.
We continue to work on the ad blocker. It will continue to improve.
@jon@vivaldi.net Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another
@darthkielbasa@vivaldi.net , thanks for your support!
@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 Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.
@jon@vivaldi.net 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.
@jon@vivaldi.net Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)
@jon@vivaldi.net Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, but I can’t really explain why because it’s a lot of tiny things that make it better, but the fact it isn’t Chromium-based is probably the most significant point. And probably a bit of nostalgia too.
@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.
