No, because I haven't used mainline Firefox in years.
I'm pretty happy with LibreWolf on desktop and IronFox (available on Accrescent btw!) on Android (GrapheneOS)

Unfortunately it's still much less secure than Chromium, but I want and need a proper adblocker to maintain my freedom online. And I'm definitely not using Brave...

The only kinda usable Chromium browsers are Ungoogled Chromium and Trivalent. I think I might try building Trivalent on macOS at some point. Maybe also gonna apply some patches from Thorium, as long as they don't compromise security.

Any thoughts on Vivaldi?

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

No thoughts on privacy, but I have been using Vivaldi for many years now and it's good. Pretty customizable if that's your thing.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well it's proprietary and in my opinion extremely bloated.

I use Waterfox as my primary and Vivaldi as my secondary browser for when a site just really wants a Chromium based browser...it's great, Chrome minus Google, plus a few nice extras. For those old enough to remember when Opera was a popular alternative browser (before getting bought up and turned to garbage) -- Vivaldi is from the guy who made Opera.

What does that mean?
