@jon@vivaldi.net I use #Floorp now (Fork of Firefox).

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net I like Firefox as a platform, but don't like it as a browser

@jon even if Firefox is my 1st option, but is the 2nd option and I use it almost daily

@jon Firefox on Desktop, Vivaldi on mobile.

Vivaldi is close for me on Mobile because it works really well, but I'm using the Fennec version of Firefox from F-droid currently and it's a favorite, with Vivaldi close behind. Close on mobile because it's the second closest thing for me on privacy goals, and Firefox & forks on Android are a bit buggy.

Firefox (preferably forks) on desktop fully because of the UI being open source, no slight against Vivaldi for that, I fully understand the reasoning for not doing so. I just prefer open source so I bias towards as much as possible of it when not overly difficult to do so.

I do not trust Mozilla, more open source nature of the app allows me to take trust of ownership out of the equation a bit, especially so with forks.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.

@jon@vivaldi.net Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.

@jon@vivaldi.net It is like fashion. I switch between WebKit and Gecko.

@jon@vivaldi.net under Android only Opera and Aloha, under Windows Chrome and Firefox.

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net I found Zen, which is built on top of Firefox and I love it a lot

@jon I'm a Vivaldi supporter since V1. Because of open privacy (MV3) and open finger printing support I use more & more FF and Zen in the last months ... ;-( But I love Vivaldi, great team support and the Vivaldi style

@jon@vivaldi.net
On macOS it doesn’t feel native like f.e. Orion does. Also often the scrolling feels weird: content not moving as fast as your finger.

@jon@vivaldi.net I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.

@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).

@jon@vivaldi.net I use Vivaldi on my Mac because it has a Chromium base, so it has a lot of compatibility benefits that provides, while also providing good privacy and a great experience that I can customize to work how I want it. I used to be a large proponent of Firefox, but I don’t like their recent modus operi of shoving god-knows what into the browser.

I also really like Safari. It’s a great mobile browser, and even on the Mac it gives me good battery life, and syncs across all my Apple devices.

@jon@vivaldi.net about:config

@jon@vivaldi.net Team Firefox.

@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 my favorite browser is Orion by @kagihq@mastodon.social https://kagi.com/orion/

@jon@vivaldi.net right now zen browser

@jon@vivaldi.net brave

@jon@vivaldi.net
Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net safari and Firefox. Alternative to chromium-based browsers.

@jon@vivaldi.net i kind of hate them all, each for a different reason...

@jon@vivaldi.net I used FF since its first release, its my workhorse, and I use a lot of privacy plugins. I like the Interface, its fast, zoom is good, And my perception is, the plugin interface is more open and there are more powerful plugins as with chome based browsers

also I liked opera in the past and such the vivaldi concept is really nice.
its fast, the redraw when zooming is distracting, zoom could have more finer steps,

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!

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox. Especially because it has containers.

@jon@vivaldi.net Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.

@jon@vivaldi.net Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)

@jon@vivaldi.net Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like

@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 I use Watefox, based on Firefox, has Mozilla login/sync and an Android client too

@jon@vivaldi.net #zenBrowser

@jon@vivaldi.net Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.

@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 Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf is just better than firefox.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another

@jon@vivaldi.net @ammdias@masto.pt Duckduckgo

@jon Vivaldi is just like home.

The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...

it’s made with love

@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.
