So far very impressed and happy with #Vivaldi as my new main browser. Glad that they included some apps integrated into the browser that I was not initially expecting to use as much as I do. in c/firefox@fedia.io

@lunaticatlarge@toot.io I did not expect to find it useful, as I had other non-integrated, apps handling RSS for me before.

But to my suprise it is extremely useful even so - precisely due to it's being integrated into the browser.

@pgiulan@federate.social Partly closed, true, and yes now is part of the chromium monoculture…but closed source apps are not a show stopper for me if the company has the right position on open web standards and privacy…and they seem great on both.

RIght now - this is the integrated RSS reader, and the Notes app of all things.
First one, makes me wonder why this wasn't this way in ALL browsers forever, especially #Firefox...

And as to the integrated and sync-able Notes across desktop and mobile apps --> Goodbye, Google Keep.

OK my transfer from #Firefox to #Vivaldi now fully complete. No buyers remorse at all. (indieweb.social)

#Passkeys on every site you can, make everything so much better, btw

A few notes:

#Vivaldi after tweaking UX really can be a #Calmtech solution - at least as much as any browser can. But you can tweak EVERYTHING on it.

#Vivaldi's RSS feed feature - way more helpful than I thought.

#Already have about 10 ideas on how they could integrate the Fedi even more into the browser.

I've been a #Firefox user FOREVER. But with the direction of the recent Mozilla leadership, plus their treatment of @stevetex has pushed mo over to moving to @Vivaldi in c/firefox@fedia.io

@maybit @jpthuot03 @mike @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon Not being 100 percent open source is not a show stopper for me -but supporting open web standards is a MUST - and they are super solid on that.

Sad, sad day. But they crossed enough lines that it's time. And @jon@vivaldi.net has been a strong advocate for the fediverse and the open web.

New [#lemmy](https://hachyderm.io/tags/lemmy) instance and community explorer (seems to be clearly better than the one of feddit.de): in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

@maegul @fediverse @fediversenews

Would love to see this evolve into a #Threadiverse Explorer and cover #Kbin too. And others that evolve.

Lemmy the Fediverse alternative to Reddit is having his moment of glory, but it takes the help of the whole Fediverse to make this magical moment become the beginning of a new era! in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

I'm working hard to try to quantify this mini-migration from Reddit. Anyone who has hard quantifiable numbers, please point me to them!
