What is your favorite browser?

[chalex2020@social.vivaldi.net]

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.

@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.

@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!

@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

@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!

@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.

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@darthkielbasa , thanks for your support!

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@VileLasagna

We will do our best to keep you happy. We will not least continue to improve our ad blocker.

@jon unpopular opinion, I have really been enjoying Edge on Linux, I use to use Opera, but it kept having issues, I hate microsoft and their products, and make a habit of not using or promoting, but Edge fast has a built in reader and I just like it, its weird, and using it on linux I have a bit more stability and security one would normally have with windows and after the past year I have had no issues with it.

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@woctxphotog

We all have to make our own choices. Sadly Microsoft tries to force Edge onto people.

Have you given Vivaldi a try?

[igvazquez@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon Vivaldi + Brave All features potential of Vivaldi (panels, second-level tabs, workspaces, page actions, page tiling, translator, reading list...) + privacy/cookies/certificates/ad-blocker... features of Brave

[claridelune@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon Vivaldi is just like home.

The workspaces, the customizability, tab stacking...

it’s made with love

[fearlessjuan@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon #vivaldibrowser is by far the best. It saves me so much time. I need to have many tabs open in several windows in several virtual desktops in several monitors. Workspaces, tabs stacking and tab search are lifesavers. The quick search has a built-in calculator that I use all the time. It's the most innovative and customizable browser there is. Sync is flawless. I use it in Mac, Windows and Android.

#Edge would be my 2nd choice. I like how fast it loads in my old Windows laptop, probably because it's pre-loaded. I like the way Bing presents the search results and the Copilot integration. I love the read-aloud feature. It recognizes the language automatically and it sounds very natural.

@jon Chrome: tab groups.
