@jon@vivaldi.net @kazuhito@vivaldi.net Waterfox and Qutebrowser!

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

@jon@vivaldi.net brave

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 no option for brave ? 🤔 otherwise i prefer firefox.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because not chromium based. Vivaldi out of all chromium based

@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 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 Vivaldi on android is the only one that does tabs right IMO with the tab bar.
Firefox is nice because it's one of the only ones not using chromium or WebKit and with, finally, vertical tabs I am pretty happy using it on desktop again.
And Vivaldi and Zen Browser because of the amazing split screen feature.
But I prefer Zens sidebar tabs and the fact its also based on Gecko.

So for me it's Zen and Firefox on Desktop and Vivaldi on Android.
Which makes me unable to use sync :/

Firefox because only it supports (via an extension) having different sessions in different tabs, so I can log into 3 different accounts at the same website at the same time and use the same browser window for all of them. I need this and won't move to a different browser.

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

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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Zen browsers. Cuz I like customizability. Zen feels faster though. Vivaldi and Fennec on Android.

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

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 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.

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
@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 Firefox on Android supports extensions, wish Vivaldi did the same!

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

#zenbrowser because it's Firefox with left side tabs, better interface and better privacy.

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

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

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.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo

@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。
