Maybe this or next week will finally be the one where I switch to Vivaldi.

Anyone else get really attached to their browser setup?

Pre-emptively tagging @webology so we can turn this into a Python Office Hours subject.

@mahryekuh I've been using Firefox these last few years. Google has been making user-hostile changes to Chrome for a while. Most notably thwarting adblockers via Manifest v3, and adding "privacy" features that share data with advertisers. Browsers that are based on Chromium such as Vivaldi have to play within Google's rules.
But Firefox hasn't been great either, with financial pressure to find new income through sponsorships and such affecting their decisions. I'm eager to try new options.
-
@superblox Yeah, I'm really reluctant about saying goodbye to Firefox, but I don't like the direction they are taking.
Vivaldi seems to be one of the better non-problematic alternatives.
I tried Librewolf, but its Homebrew version gets quarantined by default, and it's annoying to have to manually fix that every time it updates.

@mahryekuh I can’t say goodbye to Safari. The way everything syncs between all my devices, integration with the built-in password mananger, default privacy protection, extensions, no crypto or AI crap built-in…

@kevinrenskers That's funny, I never got used to Safari! You also highlight why I purposely didn't put my passwords into the Apple ecosystem.

@mahryekuh Ah that's unfortunate. If it weren't for Firefox I too might have been a Vivaldi user. Ungoogled Chromium sounds nice in theory, but if I recall correctly it also strips out Google Cast support.
I hope that https://ladybird.org/ turns out a success. It's an interesting project.

@superblox Yeah. I'm pretty excited that we might get more browsers again. On the one hand, it's an absolute disaster for compatibility, but on the other hand, we need to break this Chromium near-monopoly.

@mahryekuh I’m team Vivaldi.
Workspaces, Profiles, Cmd + E for switching between things and the all important “close other tabs” command.
!!!But/and/however/watch out/here be dragons: Cmd + Shift + C (select element) DOES NOT WORK…!
Love to hear how web devs web dev with @Vivaldi!

@mahryekuh Maybe give it another try? It works fine with other password managers of course
On macOS it’s the fastest browser (as far as I know), it’s generally just a very fine browser with no real downsides.

@kevinrenskers Nah, I have disliked Safari for too long to even want to repair this relationship.

@mahryekuh How do you get the equivalent level of blocking as uBlock Origin?

@caleb I’m not the one to ask; I have no idea yet.

Try mapping the keyboard shortcut to "Toggle Developer Tools" command in Settings > Keyboard > Window.

An easier developer setup was something I was missing.
I updated all the web page menus (under Appearance) so as not to show the developer tools as a sub-folder in two profiles. I was initially overwhelmed by the settings, so it was good to have an old forum post explaining this.
