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

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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net I tried to vote but it was not registering my vote from what I could see

@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 a good browser has good dev tools, and an absence of AI bullshit.

@jon@vivaldi.net logiciel libre, respect de la vie privée, non inféodé aux GAFAM

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

@jon@vivaldi.net
I use #Zen because its #Firefox without the drama. Plus workspaces!

@jon@vivaldi.net
Mullvad

@jon@vivaldi.net Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC

@jon@vivaldi.net
Checked FF on Desktop but use Fennec on Android because it's not Chrome🤷

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

@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.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Waterfox.

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?

@jon@vivaldi.net None. All have flaws.

Browsers are poorly designed, fundamentally. There is no reason to have media player, etc, into what should be a text / hyperlink display.

The only good thing about Vivaldi is F2ing (screenshot). Otherwise you provide bloatware filled with quirks.

@jon@vivaldi.net Ordinare use: Chrome. Security work: Firefox.

@jon@vivaldi.net Opera from before the switch to chromium remains my favorite to this day, every browser I've used since doesn't feel as feature complete or as fun as Opera did.

@jon@vivaldi.net
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.

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

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

@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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Appropriately set up I use Firefox.🙏

@jon@vivaldi.net : And my second favorite is Lynx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)

@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

@jon@vivaldi.net Other

AVG Secure Browser ^^

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net brave o waterfox

Hi @jon@vivaldi.net

As a technology enthusiast, I’d like to share my perspective on this.

Firefox has been my go-to browser for a while, mainly because of:

1. Multi-Account Containers: Perfect for managing multiple profiles or accounts seamlessly.
2. RAM Efficiency: It’s lightweight and doesn’t hog system resources.
3. Privacy Focus: With its 100% open-source nature and stellar reputation as a privacy-first browser, it’s hard to beat.

Vivaldi, on the other hand, has a special place in my heart for its unique and productivity-oriented features:

1. Page Tiling: A brilliant tool for working with multiple pages side by side—ideal for multitaskers.
2. Plain Text/Markdown Notes: This feature is a gem for academic researchers and avid readers like me, making it easy to jot down notes directly from web pages.
3. Web Panels: Super handy for accessing frequently used sites without leaving your main tabs.
4. Customizable Dashboard: A lovely productivity hub and a virtual assistant.

A Few Observations

While Vivaldi excels in many areas, there are a couple of things I’d like to highlight:

High RAM Usage: Vivaldi can be quite demanding on memory.
Text-to-Speech Feature: Adding a natural and seamless "Read Aloud" feature would make it even more user-friendly.

Cheers 😊

@jon@vivaldi.net Selected
Opera for the Android mobile version with auto-reflow on zoom.

@jon@vivaldi.net
There's no one. Hopefully Servo or Ladybird helps me decide.
