@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, despite Mozilla’s current trajectory because the Chromium monopoly will ultimately harm the web.

Hope to use @servo@floss.social someday 🤞

@jon@vivaldi.net

Firefox because it isn't chromium, and I just like it. With chromium, google controls the web. Doesn't matter what kind of wrapper a third party puts on it. It's still chromium and it's still google.

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen Browser

@jon@vivaldi.net I like Zen browser because it comes with vertical tabs, screenshot feature, and familiar dev tools.

Moreover, unlike Safari, it works well on macOS and Slack notification. When I checked my Slack tab on Safari, I usually found that it didn't load the page yet although I didn't shutdown or restart the computer.

@jon@vivaldi.net

I currently use:

Firefox on the desktop
Librewolf on the Linux laptop
Waterfox on my main phone

Vivaldi on my other persona on desktop, laptop and second phone.

Also going to try Floop and Zen.

Ostensibly I want to use Firefox forks but I find Vivaldi pretty cool despite being Chromium, especially on mobile.

TBH, none of them are ideal. I'd love to have one browser with multiple profiles across multiple devices, but I find that doesn't work for me.

@jon@vivaldi.net I would love to support Vivaldi more than I do but I worry about the Chromium base and also Firefox has its own plugin ecosystem.

@jon@vivaldi.net
Just wish Google was not used in vivaldi , so when I don't want their influence I use ddg . if there is a way to keep Google completely out of Vivaldi. I'd like to know how.
Thanks MTT

@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf. Based on Firefox but more lightweight. I'll never use a Chromium-based browser in my life anymore.

@jon@vivaldi.net
Other -> LibreWolf

@jon@vivaldi.net I would love to use Vivaldi, but unfortunately the Ad-Blocker on Android isn't very good - Firefox using ublock-extension or Brave is doing a much better job there.

@jon@vivaldi.net I choose Vivaldi as my favorite because I like many things about it. I use my home computer now for recipes, cash spreadsheets, and a shopping list. I had not previously used social media and this is a nice surprise for me to enjoy it. I used Netscape before Metacrawler and then I used shelves of books until trying Firefox. I used Chrome then Edge before I retired, but used Firefox and DuckDuckGo on home computers until I noticed Vivaldi about two years ago and put it on my home computer and laptop and cellphone. I like its many options and features and forums full of answers to questions I might ever need ask! It gives me a calendar and note and task pads and all sorts of things which optionally can sync and be seen when I use the browser on my cellphone or to choose not to sync. The very best is, when I removed Windows Operating System from my old laptop and replaced it with one of the Linux distributions now this Vivaldi continues to give me my familiar user experience. Thank you, to all and everyone who is and who are responsible for allowing me this user experience which followed me between operating systems, thank you.

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari, because all my passwords live in iCloud, and I really like how the touch gestures for back and forward work.

@jon@vivaldi.net Arc, with spaces, profiles, boosts, and really considered design decisions, it works really well for what I do.

@jon@vivaldi.net I’m currently trying Zen, which is FF inside and Arc outside, basically.
Re: why, I think Chrome is the new IE6, and we need more engines to keep the web open

@jon@vivaldi.net

#Firefox got a ton of variants/forks recently.

• #Librewolf
• #MullvadBrowser
• #ZenBrowser
• #Midori

So yeah I take Firefox + Arkenfox user.js or Librewolf if they fixed their CI/CD

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, largely because I like supporting an alternative (non-Blink) rendering engine - I think a rendering engine monoculture is very dangerous for the internet as a whole.

#Firefox because of Multi-Account Containers

@jon@vivaldi.net librewolf

I use Vivaldi but I would really like to see more attention to quality. Breaking things randomly in minor releases and then taking half a year to fix them is not okay, guys. A public issue tracker would also help, instead of the scream-into-the-void bug report form. I understand that you've taken everything from the old Opera team, but this part should've been left behind.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox+Fennec+Libre Wolf

Firefox right now, and pretty happy with it, but Vivaldi is increasingly starting to sound like a contender.

@jon@vivaldi.net can't live without Vivaldi's workspaces

@jon@vivaldi.net I use a plethora of browsers.

I'm migrating fron Firefox to LibreWolf (sorry, I prefer non-chrome based browsers), but have a Ungoogled Chromium as a backup those times Firefox/LibreWolf doesn't cut it (I thought the world had learnt a lesson from the IE days; seems we need to educate a new generation web hipsters).

On Android I use the default browser (in @e_mydata@mastodon.social) for a few news/blog sites, Mull and Vivaldi for some other sites and DuckDuckGo when searching. Default browser is Mull with Privacy Mode enabled by default.

I honestly don't like that the Chrome based browsers seems to be dominating these days. We need a heterogeneous web render environment to ensure a single dominant player dictates how things will be for users.

And without such competition, I fear there will be a lesser drive to further improve browsers. Just like when Netscape seemed too complacent with their own browsers back in the days.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because its the only real alternative to chrome and its clones, firefox its still the most customizable browser, vivaldi its the second, but the biggest con of vivaldi feels that its the slower among chrome clones

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave

@jon@vivaldi.net After dropping Opera, I now mostly use Waterfox. Vivaldi is also on my desktop and laptop. But so is Brave, Firefox and DuckDuckGO. Edge is also on there, but only because MS won't allow me to remove it :(

@jon@vivaldi.net I’ve been using Vivaldi lately, but I also like Firefox and Librewolf. However the internet today feels like that of 2000, so many websites only work with todays IE (Chrome), so yeah, the options are either Chromium or Gecko; and the latter doesn’t work for all websites.

It’s a very sad state of affairs.

@Karen5Lund@mastodon.social

@jon@vivaldi.net Brave, as you get a Chromium experience without Google nasties and a built in ad/tracker blocker

@jon I like Firefox and Vivaldi.

FF is totally open source and often renders fonts better than Chromium-based browsers and the PDF reader is more robust. I'm currently working through an online training module and it's the only PDF program that lets me highlight sections of the provided documentation and will remember changes when I save the document.

Vivaldi has a ton of features and is pretty quick and responsive, especially on Android. Still having odd issues with the mail client and I'm really not sure what to make of or do with the new dashboard though.

@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
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 Firefox for now, although for how much longer is unknown. Over the course of time, it's become slower and somewhat bloated from what I can tell.
I've been tweaking and twiddling another browser, when I have time, to see if a smooth transition can eventually take place.

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

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

@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo

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

@jon@vivaldi.net I use chrome because I have a chromebook right now, but when I'm running Linux its librewolf

@jon@vivaldi.net Edge because it's the only one on the market that has an option to:

1. Ask if you want to open or save the download
2. If the user wants to open it without saving, it saves it in a temporary directory
3. Automatically deletes that downloaded file when closing the browser

I like to keep my downloads folder clean, sorry 😢

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen Browser @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org

@jon@vivaldi.net 日本語で書きます。翻訳サイトなど使ってください。
Firefoxは唯一日本語IMEの動作を正しく行ってくれます。なので文節などの変換が見やすく、安心できます。拡張が多くても不安定になりにくいです。Quantumは正しい判断だったと思います。

Chromium系（Elctronも）IMEの処理がおざなりで点線出しとけはいいだろうとしかとれない動作画面です。たまに文節区切りを見失いますし変なところになることがあります。

あとは垂直タブがあるかどうかで、その垂直タブもタブ同士の親子関係が表せられないと意味がないです。
ということでFirefox+Tree Style Tabが使いやすく、その次にVivaldiが来ます。

@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome and Brave - I don't care about Google as we pay a lot of money for SaaS by Google, there's no alternative to

ads blocked by AdGuard DNS

@jon@vivaldi.net I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %

@jon@vivaldi.net as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂
