While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@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 10 months ago (1 children)

@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 10 months 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 started to really like ARC until recently when I heard they are focusing on a new project. Then I would say Firefox and Safari

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

[–] Paradox@lor.sh 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] robin@mastodon.grml.de 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] exefex@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 10 months 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.

[–] Meznor@mstdn.social 1 points 9 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo

[–] sxa@fosstodon.org 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] nicomede@fosstodon.org 1 points 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for the gecko engine vs the overwhelming power (and use) of Chrome's Blink.

[–] kubikpixel@chaos.social 1 points 10 months 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 10 months 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.

[–] itokoi@mastodon.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net about:config

[–] Chiefzero@mastodon.social 1 points 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net brave and librewolf

[–] exitcode@fosstodon.org 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] MarieClaudeS@mastodon.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] jajo@mastodon.nu 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ocean@raru.re 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] tth@mastodon.tetaneutral.net 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] thesdev@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] vdpnv@social.noleron.com 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Florprax@toot.community 1 points 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Team Firefox.

[–] vadhakara@mastodon.social 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave is not listed!

[–] checkmite@mastodon.social 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] crabbypup@fosstodon.org 1 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net brave

[–] notmybackdoorbug@mastodon.social 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] maxxware@mastodon.social 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] MichaelBishop@mastodon.world 1 points 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Waterfox.

[–] alxexperience@mstdn.social 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net DuckDuckGo

[–] wbpeckham@techhub.social 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] thegib@mastodon.uno 1 points 10 months ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
Brave

[–] lachralle@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 10 months ago

@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.
