@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because it has good privacy options, and their development tools are very useful

[–] JakeNL@mastodon.nl 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox since early times. Now evaluating Vivaldi on Linux and iPad(I know same browser engine as Safari). Just curious

[–] sgt1372@sfba.social 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net #DuckDuckGo is my favorite browser.

[–] chalex2020@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] kubikpixel@chaos.social 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net i use the #Firefox clones on desktop and mobile for more #privacy & plugins for #security (see links):

@jon@vivaldi.net It changes from time to time, but I do keep coming back to Firefox. It fits like a glove in Linux, has good dev tools and is configurable enough

[–] Skaifer@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 5 months ago

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

[–] lachralle@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net is my favorite because it gets so much right, right out of the box and is made by good people.

[–] unnon89@nrw.social 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Other

AVG Secure Browser ^^

[–] leon@sfba.social 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave... because it loads fast, and has the best built in ad blocking. Please change your ad-blocker accordingly.

[–] lapisdecor@mastodon.earth 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net my favourite is Zen.

[–] sanzky@masto.es 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

[–] fredbrooker@witter.cz 1 points 5 months ago

@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

[–] anomis66@mastodon.me.uk 1 points 5 months ago

@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.

[–] chris@social.losno.co 1 points 5 months ago

@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.

LibreWolf and Mull. I did use Chromium recently for a web-based GrapheneOS install, that was kind of cool.

[–] kevino1@fosstodon.org 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net no option for brave ? 🤔 otherwise i prefer firefox.

[–] shadowwwind@fosstodon.org 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi on android is the only one that does tabs right IMO with the tab bar.
Firefox is nice because it's one of the only ones not using chromium or WebKit and with, finally, vertical tabs I am pretty happy using it on desktop again.
And Vivaldi and Zen Browser because of the amazing split screen feature.
But I prefer Zens sidebar tabs and the fact its also based on Gecko.

So for me it's Zen and Firefox on Desktop and Vivaldi on Android.
Which makes me unable to use sync :/

[–] Jerry@feddit.online 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] holly@social.v.st 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Orion! We got a kagi subscription a while back and I enjoyed it so much I decided to try their browser. It blocks youtube ads on all my devices, so it's a keeper

[–] oblomov@sociale.network 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I was a long-time Opera aficionado, only dropped it when they switched to WebKit (and then Blink) and the last Presto-based version became obsolete (TLS-wise, mostly). Switched to Firefox, with which I'll stick as long as it maintains Gecko. Would love to jump to Vivaldi, but we need more independent rendering engines for the health of the web.

[–] Siathes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Has anyone tried floorp? I’ve been using it and it seems good with side tabs. Any others with opinion (good or bad) about it?

[–] exitcode@fosstodon.org 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because not chromium based. Vivaldi out of all chromium based

[–] thesdev@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox on Android supports extensions, wish Vivaldi did the same!

[–] enthusiast101@fosstodon.org 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
For me I use both Vivaldi and firefox.

I like Vivaldi cause its all about customizability and has decent privacy.

I like firefox because it doesn't have to have chromiums bad choices (not including jpegxl, manifest v3, etc). Of the course the defaults aren't the best, but it is also very customizable (even if its harder to customize than Vivaldi).

[–] jdkiser@social.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

#zenbrowser because it's Firefox with left side tabs, better interface and better privacy.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi loyal since its early days for its customisability and ear to the user, even though I find its hosting of user accounts quite glitchy.
