What is your favorite browser?

[schnedan@social.tchncs.de]

@jon I never tested if vivaldi could replace my thunderbird... but is mixing stuff in one programm really a good idea?
perhaps I will try in a VM one day.

and I would like to see if vivaldi would support other mastodon instances...

PS: on Android vivaldi is my favorite but please: fdroid store!

[culturalfawa@mastodon.ie]

@jon Edge.. the unpopular choice!

I dunno I find it fastest, but I'm also using windows

Double criminal

@schnedan ,

We have found that having things integrated has significant benefits, but of course there is a bit of getting used to. Give it a try!

As a side note, it is easy to run multiple instances of Vivaldi, so you can run Mail, Calendar and Feeds in one instance and most of your Web browsing in another. There is flexibility here.

@culturalfawa

Have you tried Vivaldi?

[bluewave_1@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.

[colossal7374@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses

[mossyquartz@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon I choose Vivaldi as my favorite because I like many things about it. I use my home computer now for recipes, cash spreadsheets, and a shopping list. I had not previously used social media and this is a nice surprise for me to enjoy it. I used Netscape before Metacrawler and then I used shelves of books until trying Firefox. I used Chrome then Edge before I retired, but used Firefox and DuckDuckGo on home computers until I noticed Vivaldi about two years ago and put it on my home computer and laptop and cellphone. I like its many options and features and forums full of answers to questions I might ever need ask! It gives me a calendar and note and task pads and all sorts of things which optionally can sync and be seen when I use the browser on my cellphone or to choose not to sync. The very best is, when I removed Windows Operating System from my old laptop and replaced it with one of the Linux distributions now this Vivaldi continues to give me my familiar user experience. Thank you, to all and everyone who is and who are responsible for allowing me this user experience which followed me between operating systems, thank you.

I've been using it at home for quite some time now. I wonder though why some corporate environments started outright blocking Vivaldi.

[nexalilly@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon Vivaldi because it's the most like Opera 12.18 and before, at least in spirit.

LibreWolf in second place because it's more privacy focused than FireFox and I got used to FireFox between opera's terrible switch to being chromium-based and Vivaldi being available.

[tedel@writing.exchange]

@jon Firefox because of its tweaks. I admire what Vivaldi has achieved, but Firefox can achieve almost the same with extensions. The only thing missing in Firefox are native tab groups, but they are a work in progress according to their site.

If Firefox vanished tomorrow, I would quite likely use Vivaldi. I was an Opera user in the old days. Vivaldi is the only browser that follows that spirit today.

[blaberus@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon I found out that also Edge is quite nice. Very friendly, the tabs can be moved to the side position, the same panel as in Vivaldi, excellent translator. But there is not so easy to switch between search engines, also not so easy to switch to the main workspace, and there's almost no Speed Dial.
I've been living with Edge (on macOS, imagine) for some months when Vivaldi has several annoying bugs, but later I came back to Vivaldi, and now Edge is my second browser, for some different cases Good luck!

[vilelasagna@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@jon can't live without Vivaldi's workspaces

But I heard they too will eventually capitulate in Google's fight against ad blockers and when that happens I guess I'll have to learn

[vivahyar@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon even if Firefox is my 1st option, but is the 2nd option and I use it almost daily

[darthkielbasa@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another

[dedicto@zeroes.ca]

@jon DuckDuckGo. Why wasn't it included in this list?

[mossheart@lemmy.ca]

Vivaldi has been my daily driver since 1.0, i can’t live without tab tiling and vertical tabs in my work. Would love to have the ability to sort my open tabs by domain or an alpha sort.

Please continue to improve the Adblock functions. It doesn’t compare to manifest v2 ublock origin yet.

Loving 7.0 so far!

[sarptas@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon Zen-Browser forked from Firefox. @zenbrowser

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@dedicto , there is only room for that many choices, so some browsers are not included.

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@Mossheart

Glad to hear that. Thanks for your support.

Have you tried looking at the Windows panel? You can sort tabs there. The search there is pretty helpful as well.

We continue to work on the ad blocker. It will continue to improve.

@darthkielbasa , thanks for your support!
