A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Any opinions on Opera? I used it 1000 years ago. I liked it but then they started charging or something and switched to Firefox. Then Brave which was my favorite but is a problem I guess. I used Chrome for a short time until I learned it was Google crap. So now I'm back to Firefox. I see Opera is still around though.
opera is just chrome these days with a thin veneer of opera junk on top. Brave is just chrome with adblock built in selling you crypto, Vivaldi is chrome with Vivaldi veneer, heck, even edge is just chrome with microsoft replacing google. Firefox is the last true remaining non chrome browser, which is terrifying.
Sure is. Thanks.
The only thing worse than open source Chromium-based browsers like Brave are proprietary ones like Opera and Vivaldi.
safari: what am i chopped liver?
fair, it's been a while since i used it, but when i did it was utterly useless on anything except apple products, which doesn't make it particularly useful. Things may have changed though
things did change, they no longer even offer it for anything except apple products, so if you want to use safari on windows it's 11 years out of date, and any other OS is just a full on no. So yeah, i'd say we're back to firefox as the only real alternative.
Opera is now owned by a Chinese company, it is just a webkit/blink shell and, I have zero trust in them.
