Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

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

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

[–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Apple's ad business is a $4B/year industry, the vast majority of it from web searches in Safari.

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

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

[–] nlupo@macrofurs.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I hate them all for different reasons. Here are my requirements:

  1. Ad blocker should be the default, no matter what corporations think.
  2. It should be possible to inspect and manipulate the code in real time.
  3. It should be FOSS.
  4. It should not force feed proprietary technologies or antifeatures.
  5. It should not require gazillion of RAM or storage. Why I would need 100-150 MB just for a text?

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

[–] doug@union.place 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Colossal7374@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses

[–] sxa@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] wbpeckham@techhub.social 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] astifter@mastodon.astifter.com 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because of the non-monoculture rendering engine.

[–] bargo@mastodon.tn 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen

[–] johnglass@ohai.social 1 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

[–] Tejas@floss.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.

[–] marc_v_b@veganism.social 1 points 1 month ago

@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 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.

[–] dnkrupinski@hannover.town 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] NexaLilly@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@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.

[–] Arcticulate@toot.community 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] tedel@writing.exchange 1 points 1 month ago (4 children)

@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 Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.

[–] blaberus@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@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!

[–] vivahyar@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] darthkielbasa@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] jon@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@darthkielbasa@vivaldi.net , thanks for your support!

[–] sarptas@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 Librewolf is just better than firefox.

[–] IGVazquez@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@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

[–] ValknutDoc@techhub.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net

Brave:
1.- is FOSS
2.- By default it is configured for privacy, I don't have to do anything extra.

[–] FearlessJuan@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@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.

[–] cassolotl@eldritch.cafe 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.

[–] jon@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@cassolotl@eldritch.cafe

Have your tried tab stacks and workspaces in Vivaldi?

[–] patrick@o0o.social 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] esclaus@mastodon.clausgames.com 1 points 1 month ago

@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
