Vivaldi is not free software, and therefore not a suitable alternative to Firefox. LibreWolf seems fine.

Rules
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
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
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. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
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.
@tchambers@indieweb.social @stevetex@mastodon.social @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net @jon@vivaldi.net same, already a few years ago.. Even tho I still have Firefox in some machines but my daily is definitely Vivaldi both mobile & desktop
Not coming back.
If I need a drastically private session I'll use @mullvadnet@mastodon.online browser
@tchambers@indieweb.social @stevetex@mastodon.social @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net @jon@vivaldi.net
Yeah. I moved to vivaldi too. So far so good
@tchambers@indieweb.social @stevetex@mastodon.social @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net @jon@vivaldi.net I think you'll be pleasantly surprised performance wise.
@tchambers@indieweb.social @stevetex@mastodon.social @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net @jon@vivaldi.net Welcome over. I’m loving Vivaldi once I tweaked the UI to my liking.
@tchambers@indieweb.social @stevetex@mastodon.social @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net @jon@vivaldi.net
Sigh… I’m afraid you might be right.
@tchambers@indieweb.social @jpthuot03@mstdn.ca @stevetex@mastodon.social @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net @jon@vivaldi.net I recently moved from Firefox (after 20-odd years) to Vivaldi for the same reasons.
@tchambers @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon
Yeah, I've moved over to Waterfox, and it seems to be pretty good so far. Lots of privacy and ad-blocking right out of the box.
@jpthuot03 @tchambers @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon Waterfox is great for legacy compatibility, especially if you need to run an old flash site. It lacks some modern features though.
@mike @tchambers @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon
I don't know enough to know enough, it would seem. I just looked at a list of 'best open source alternatives to Firefox" and picked the top one.
Sell me on Vivaldi, then, if you have a moment. Does it handle add-ons/extensions? I use Proton suite of everything, so the Pass extension would be most important.
I'm using Brave on my android now.
@jpthuot03 @mike @tchambers @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon vivaldi is not opensource though 🤔
