@jon@vivaldi.net Personally I like Zen Browser, it’s open-source Arc like browser which I really like

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because it has good privacy options, and their development tools are very useful

@jon@vivaldi.net #DuckDuckGo is my favorite browser.

@jon@vivaldi.net I tried to vote but it was not registering my vote from what I could see

@jon only now noticed your handle and who you are...and "Feel free to share why."

For me having an alternative rendering engine is a key reason to stay loyal to Firefox.

So no vivaldi for me though I trust you if you'd say it's wonderful in many other aspects (like features and privacy).

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

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox since early times. Now evaluating Vivaldi on Linux and iPad(I know same browser engine as Safari). Just curious

LibreWolf and Mull. I did use Chromium recently for a web-based GrapheneOS install, that was kind of cool.

@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 #Firefox, because not Chrome.

@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.

@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox is my favorite when I can use it, but at least on my new Mac, I found Firefox was misbehaving for inexplicable reasons. Shrug, I don’t mind Safari that much, and for when AdGuard for Safari isn’t working, I also have AdGuard Home running on my home network.

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

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

@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
I don't have one anymore. They all seem to either embraced tge AI BS, will be ruined be Google's F-ing manifest v3, ir they're made by yucky folk.

As soon as anyone outs out a browser that just shows websites and allows for best possible privacy without dicking around, I'll use that.

@jon@vivaldi.net Different Browsers for different situations

• Safari
• Edge
• Brave

@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.

:tony_happy: :tony_smiling: :tony_wee:

@jon@vivaldi.net

I'm pretty sure this just reflects "people who know what a browser is", or least "people who know enough about browsers to have an opinion".

LibreWolf and Mull. I did use Chromium recently for a web-based GrapheneOS install, that was kind of cool.

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

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

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

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

@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.

General usage: LibreWolf
Dev: Polypane by @Kilian@mastodon.social

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