@jon@vivaldi.net It is my default browsing. Completely customizable, I adjust it to my way and it has many options and pluses such as blog, note taking, RSS reader, translator and much more.
@jon@vivaldi.net After testing all the browsers my favourite is Vivaldi due to their focus on privacy and no crypto crap. I also like to browse their forums which has been helpful to me at times.
@jon@vivaldi.net I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don’t want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there’s Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.
@fluchtkapsel
Indeed, we are using Chromium, but there really is not a lot of choice. I hope you will make the switch. If you liked Opera 12, you will love Vivaldi.
@jon@vivaldi.net I already use Vivaldi since a botched Chromium browser update about a year ago. It’s just a little bit sad that there’s neither a lot of choice nor something like Chromium project but on a Gecko basis.
@fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.de
I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.
At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.
Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.
@jon@vivaldi.net I run with @Waterfox@mastodon.social and @brave@mastodon.social on my daily machines, but have access to #Opera, #Edge, #Firefox and #Chrome for UI testing.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox Focus on iOS. Refuses everything by default. Has a “delete session” button.
@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 @kazuhito@vivaldi.net Waterfox and Qutebrowser!
@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
General usage: LibreWolf
Dev: Polypane by @Kilian@mastodon.social@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo
@jon@vivaldi.net as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂
@jon@vivaldi.net I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %
Sometimes i take Vimb for lighter browsing, but for the most time i stay attached to Firefox for the whole browsing experience and sync my tablet, laptop & smartphone with it.
@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

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