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

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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net right now zen browser

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

@jon@vivaldi.net I love Safari because it's not chrome & it's got sleek apple design & it means I don't have to use the loathsome firefox

@jon@vivaldi.net about:config

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

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

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

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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Waterfox.

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

@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 brave o waterfox

@jon@vivaldi.net For me on Windows performance is more or less the same for all the above browsers. Edge is decent and do all what the average user needs. I like Vivaldi because is tweakable (I like the idea of the mail client but something on the UI doesn't work for me, maybe I'm only used with Outlook). Firefox because I use it since it was Phoenix and I'm so sorry it is dieing.

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen

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

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

@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 #zenBrowser

@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 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 Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.

@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 Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)

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

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

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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.

@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

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

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

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 Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like

@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

@jon Vivaldi is just like home.

The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...

it’s made with love

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

@jon@vivaldi.net

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

#foss #brave @bravebrowser@lemmy.ml #linux #vivaldi

@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.
