@jon I'm a Vivaldi supporter since V1. Because of open privacy (MV3) and open finger printing support I use more & more FF and Zen in the last months ... ;-( But I love Vivaldi, great team support and the Vivaldi style

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

[-] jon@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@geillescas@techhub.social , I have not tried them, but it looks like they have taken some inspiration from Vivaldi. Even marketing.

[-] geillescas@techhub.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
The marketing bit that convinced me was: "you can log in with your existing Firefox Sync account without any hassle"

@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 like Firefox as a platform, but don't like it as a browser

[-] danwalsh@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

Checked FF on Desktop but use Fennec on Android because it's not Chrome🤷

[-] Meznor@mstdn.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo

[-] exefex@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@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.

[-] sxa@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I'll bite.
Does anyone use #Falkon or #Palemoon?
I use #Vivaldi (Snapshot) for stock trading, #LibraWolf to watch Twitch, & #FireDragon as my main browser.

[-] johnefrancis@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for now, because of inertia, but the alternatives are definitely being considered.

[-] 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.

[-] kubikpixel@chaos.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net i use the #Firefox clones on desktop and mobile for more #privacy & plugins for #security (see links):

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.

[-] oblomov@sociale.network 1 points 1 month ago

@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.

[-] Chiefzero@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net brave and librewolf

[-] exitcode@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] MarieClaudeS@mastodon.top 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net logiciel libre, respect de la vie privée, non inféodé aux GAFAM

[-] 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

[-] jajo@mastodon.nu 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ocean@raru.re 1 points 1 month ago

@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

[-] joschtl@karlsruhe-social.de 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net #Firefox, because not Chrome.

[-] tth@mastodon.tetaneutral.net 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] thesdev@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox on Android supports extensions, wish Vivaldi did the same!

[-] itokoi@mastodon.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net about:config

[-] vdpnv@social.noleron.com 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Florprax@toot.community 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Team Firefox.

[-] vadhakara@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, for the last ~20 years. I've switched to something else a few times, but I always end up coming back when whatever it was I switched to turns to garbage in various ways.

[-] peterbak@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave is not listed!

[-] checkmite@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi is genuinely every single thing I ever wanted in a browser. I used it for years, but I stopped around 3 months ago and have been using LibreWolf because I decided that I just can't use Chromium anymore.

[-] albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] crabbypup@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I don't have a favorite browser at the moment. The one I currently use is brave, but there are several things about it that I don't like.

I've yet to find a browser that doesn't break my workflow in a critical way that also isn't brave.

I have several manifest v2 extensions that I'm not going to be giving up.

So until a browser has a tab discard mechanism that can be configured to not auto un-discard a tab on focus, and has a way to force immediate discarding, brave is where I stay.

[-] leon@sfba.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave... because it loads fast, and has the best built in ad blocking. Please change your ad-blocker accordingly.

[-] simonebissi@mastodon.uno 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net brave

[-] notmybackdoorbug@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen browser. Based on Firefox, but better. Still in Alpha.

[-] maxxware@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox is my primary browser because of containers, Vivaldi is my secondary browser because of the lack of containers.

[-] melroy@mastodon.melroy.org 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I use #Floorp now (Fork of Firefox).

[-] MichaelBishop@mastodon.world 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Waterfox.

[-] alxexperience@mstdn.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I use Vivaldi on my Mac because it has a Chromium base, so it has a lot of compatibility benefits that provides, while also providing good privacy and a great experience that I can customize to work how I want it. I used to be a large proponent of Firefox, but I don’t like their recent modus operi of shoving god-knows what into the browser.

I also really like Safari. It’s a great mobile browser, and even on the Mac it gives me good battery life, and syncs across all my Apple devices.

[-] studiovhf@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net DuckDuckGo

[-] wbpeckham@techhub.social 1 points 1 month ago

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

@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.
