The only thing I still miss from Firefox is the accessibility inspector, which can be found in one of FF's forks if needed.

@bazkie @Vivaldi This is what it got it started for me originally:
🔥 Drop Google Chrome and try out Vivaldi for a week, I dare you
Last year, I switched to the Vivaldi web browser because I read a few peer reviews that pointed out that Vivaldi is a better Google Chrome web browser than Chrome. This week, Vivaldi rolled out a new memory-saver feature that I’m excited to try out. It lets you decide how long to keep a tab in memory before hibernating and reclaiming the memory dedicated to the tab. Vivaldi’s memory and CPU usage are already night and day better than Google Chrome.

@mahryekuh @Vivaldi I'm quite torn about it. I don't want to contribute to the browser engine monopoly of Chromium that, for example, killed access to adblockers like uBlock Origin.
I also don't endorse Mozilla's focus on AI, their opt-out "privacy-preserving ad measurement" and their sponsored Temu shortcut. Temu has a track record with privacy that the old Mozilla would have objected to: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024/03/11/temu/
I'm really rooting for Ladybird to start a non-profit browser renaissance.

@superblox I get you. You could try Waterfox, Librewolf, or other Firefox alternatives. I don’t know whether those have any issues, though.
