Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful

  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.

@jon Vivaldi. Because it's better than Firefox. Haters gonna hate.

[–] 5tr1x@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@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

[–] lunaticatlarge@toot.io 1 points 1 month ago

@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
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.

[–] dandandin@mastodon.uno 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Edge because it's the only one on the market that has an option to:

  1. Ask if you want to open or save the download
  2. If the user wants to open it without saving, it saves it in a temporary directory
  3. Automatically deletes that downloaded file when closing the browser

I like to keep my downloads folder clean, sorry 😢

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

@jon@vivaldi.net LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality

@jon@vivaldi.net
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:

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

@jon
Many, many comments here. :tony_laughing:

So a lot of interest in this question.
No wonder really, here on 'Mastodon'.

Veery good. :tony_wee:

Maybe someone else is interested in digging through here. ;-) ;-)

I'm sure several people will take a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' afterwards.

I'm pretty sure this just reflects "people who know what a browser is", or least "people who know enough about browsers to have an opinion".

@jon@vivaldi.net Pale Moon. It's single-process, so if something goes wrong, I can kill the browser simply. It supports the plugins and extensions I need, want, and use on a daily basis. It doesn't support DRM, RTC, or the concepts pushed on us by DoubleClick. I'm very happy with the browser.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for the gecko engine vs the overwhelming power (and use) of Chrome's Blink.

@jon@vivaldi.net Different Browsers for different situations

  • Safari
  • Edge
  • Brave
[–] chris@social.losno.co 1 points 1 month 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.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave, as you get a Chromium experience without Google nasties and a built in ad/tracker blocker

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I use chrome because I have a chromebook right now, but when I'm running Linux its librewolf

[–] andrewc@masto.ai 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I started to really like ARC until recently when I heard they are focusing on a new project. Then I would say Firefox and Safari

[–] cynical13@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

@jon I like Firefox and Vivaldi.

FF is totally open source and often renders fonts better than Chromium-based browsers and the PDF reader is more robust. I'm currently working through an online training module and it's the only PDF program that lets me highlight sections of the provided documentation and will remember changes when I save the document.

Vivaldi has a ton of features and is pretty quick and responsive, especially on Android. Still having odd issues with the mail client and I'm really not sure what to make of or do with the new dashboard though.

@jon@vivaldi.net
Vivaldi is my daily driver, looking into Librewolf as my not-Chrome.
What I'd really like is the Vivaldi shell, as & tracker blocking, etc, with the Firefox HTML & js engines. No google or moz bullshit, just a nice clean shell and engines.

[–] juuro@mstdn.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!

[–] fredbrooker@witter.cz 1 points 1 month 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

[–] Busyvar@jlai.lu 1 points 1 month ago

Sometimes i take Vimb for lighter browsing, but for the most time i stay attached to Firefox for the whole browsing experience and sync my tablet, laptop & smartphone with it.

[–] fredbrooker@witter.cz 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %

[–] fredbrooker@witter.cz 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂

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

@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 @kazuhito@vivaldi.net Waterfox and Qutebrowser!

[–] Lingmops@topspicy.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox Focus on iOS. Refuses everything by default. Has a “delete session” button.

[–] anomis66@mastodon.me.uk 1 points 1 month 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.

[–] fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.de 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

@jon@vivaldi.net I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don't want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there's Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.

[–] jon@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

@fluchtkapsel

Indeed, we are using Chromium, but there really is not a lot of choice. I hope you will make the switch. If you liked Opera 12, you will love Vivaldi.

@jon@vivaldi.net After testing all the browsers my favourite is Vivaldi due to their focus on privacy and no crypto crap. I also like to browse their forums which has been helpful to me at times.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net It is my default browsing. Completely customizable, I adjust it to my way and it has many options and pluses such as blog, note taking, RSS reader, translator and much more.

[–] midzer@chaos.social 1 points 1 month ago
[–] ciencia@social.wikidex.net 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] JakeNL@mastodon.nl 1 points 1 month ago

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