@jon even if Firefox is my 1st option, but is the 2nd option and I use it almost daily

On the desktop, I use #Librewolf, the #Firefox fork. But, on Android, I prefer the #DuckDuckGo Browser.

Vivaldi has been my daily driver since 1.0, i can't live without tab tiling and vertical tabs in my work. Would love to have the ability to sort my open tabs by domain or an alpha sort.

Please continue to improve the Adblock functions. It doesn't compare to manifest v2 ublock origin yet.

Loving 7.0 so far!

@jon@vivaldi.net I found out that also Edge is quite nice. Very friendly, the tabs can be moved to the side position, the same panel as in Vivaldi, excellent translator. But there is not so easy to switch between search engines, also not so easy to switch to the main workspace, and there's almost no Speed Dial.
I've been living with Edge (on macOS, imagine) for some months when Vivaldi has several annoying bugs, but later I came back to Vivaldi, and now Edge is my second browser, for some different cases :) Good luck!

@jon@vivaldi.net my next browser will be something different maybe ladybird or a browser with servo web engine.
Currently i am using brave and firefox i have tested vivaldi but i find this to be more bloated...and vivaldis selling point is not something unique it is a over skined chromium fork.

@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi + Brave All features potential of Vivaldi (panels, second-level tabs, workspaces, page actions, page tiling, translator, reading list...) + privacy/cookies/certificates/ad-blocker... features of Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf is just better than firefox.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net FIrefox, but it's not my favorite browser. It's the (alleged) alternative to Google. Firefox a lot of the time is very unstable, and crashes. It takes roughly 40 minutes to be usable after it starts to load duckduckgo...."contacting improving duckduckgo" takes up most of the 40 minutes.

@jon@vivaldi.net I like Vivaldi as it reminds me of when I was using Opera around 2008. It has any embedded things like a Feed reader, email, translation and such.

Compatible with Chrome extensions and with vertical tabs.

Also Edge was good enough to work, and now I have to use Chrome which is pretty standard to be productive.

I use Zen for personal stuff and I get a similar feeling as a better Firefox after it self destroyed for me.

@jon@vivaldi.net LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality

[-] ingolftopf@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

@jon@vivaldi.net
Because 'Vivaldi' is simply the world's best browser for me.

Especially on 'Linux'.
And has been for a long time.

I think it's also worth taking a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' behind it. ;-)

Currently Firefox in first place, then Safari just ahead of Vivaldi here. :tony_unhappy:

I think many people here have simply not yet looked at Vivaldi for all platforms.
Based on 'Chromium', 100% open source.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox when I want graphics or multimedia, lynx when I want to avoid JavaScript or paywalls.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net I voted for “other” and the other is Arc. I’m in love with it, even now when it’s almost discontinued in a sense.

Brave:
1.- is FOSS
2.- By default it is configured for privacy, I don't have to do anything extra.

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome: tab groups.

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

@cassolotl@eldritch.cafe

Have your tried tab stacks and workspaces in Vivaldi?

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

@jon@vivaldi.net #vivaldibrowser is by far the best. It saves me so much time. I need to have many tabs open in several windows in several virtual desktops in several monitors. Workspaces, tabs stacking and tab search are lifesavers. The quick search has a built-in calculator that I use all the time. It's the most innovative and customizable browser there is. Sync is flawless. I use it in Mac, Windows and Android.

#Edge would be my 2nd choice. I like how fast it loads in my old Windows laptop, probably because it's pre-loaded. I like the way Bing presents the search results and the Copilot integration. I love the read-aloud feature. It recognizes the language automatically and it sounds very natural.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Arc is my go-to these days. I use splits, peeks, and “Little Arc” all the time.

[-] esclaus@mastodon.clausgames.com 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I use safari on Mac as it is the only browser that works with the Apple Passwords app. If Vivaldi worked with it I would use that instead

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

@jon@vivaldi.net

I'm sure somebody here is going to yell at me... But Arc is so damn good on a laptop.

@jon Vivaldi is just like home.

The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...

it’s made with love

@claridelune@vivaldi.net , glad you like it!

@jon@vivaldi.net a good browser has good dev tools, and an absence of AI bullshit.

@jon@vivaldi.net This list only has 3 browsers on it.

[-] Karen5Lund@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net I went with "Other" because my favorite browser doesn't exist yet.

@jon Vivaldi. Because it's better than Firefox. Haters gonna hate.

@jon@vivaldi.net I use Vivaldi for several years on both, desktop (Windows) and mobile (Android), and i can tell you all without fear, without no regrets, that it give me all what i need to surf internet on the better and secure way i ever prof with any other browser

@jon
Many, many comments here. :tony_laughing:

So a lot of interest in this question.
No wonder really, here on 'Mastodon'.

Veery good. :tony_wee:

Maybe someone else is interested in digging through here. ;-) ;-)

I'm sure several people will take a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' afterwards.

@jon@vivaldi.net Pale Moon. It's single-process, so if something goes wrong, I can kill the browser simply. It supports the plugins and extensions I need, want, and use on a daily basis. It doesn't support DRM, RTC, or the concepts pushed on us by DoubleClick. I'm very happy with the browser.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net @Gargron@mastodon.social even though it’s more or less been EOL’d, Arc is by far and away my favorite browser I’ve ever used. Every little UX detail just makes so much sense to me. The chromeless UI, sidebar vertical tabs, folder/favorite/pinned tab organization, auto-archiving tabs, tab spaces, automatic PiP activation, quick actions in the ⌘+T omnibar…

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Good relationship maerketing.
I used Firefox for many years, and I loved it. Before, I was a Netscape user. But Firefox's performance deteriorated over the years, and I switched to Chrome. When I discovered Brave, I moved to it, but it also had some issues, so I´m back to Chrome. Performance and productivity features are great. I am just very aware of data protection issues when using Google products. Still, use Firefox and Brave for some activities. Would Vivaldi be a good alternative?

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

@IPuyosa@mastodon.social

Give it a try. There is a lot of productivity features to play with.

[-] silvermoon82@wandering.shop 1 points 1 month ago

@jon@vivaldi.net
Vivaldi is my daily driver, looking into Librewolf as my not-Chrome.
What I'd really like is the Vivaldi shell, as & tracker blocking, etc, with the Firefox HTML & js engines. No google or moz bullshit, just a nice clean shell and engines.

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!

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

@jon@vivaldi.net
I love Vivaldi for the theme. The overall design is awesome.
I also love Safari because the battery duration feels way longer when using a Mac.
