When I said I'm not satisfied with all these other famous browsers it's because I tired them on an off many times but for my use case they don't bring me anything over Firefox. I don't need nor I want a built-in RSS reader, ad/tracker blockers, VPN, email client, translator etc... It doesn't make a browser better in my humble opinion. It's just adding extra stuff that I don't want. I want the freedom to add or remove anything I want.

I might be the odd one but I want things to be simple. When I buy a phone I don't want to be paying for the extra cameras it has or when I buy a PC I don't want the RGB stuff or when I buy a car I don't want it to be connected to internet and require software updates. I don't want my fridge to have internet connection nor my TV to have one.

Thanks for understanding. Didn't want to disrespect your inclination to Firefox. Everyone should use what they like best. And I sure don't want to sound preachy...but...YOU'RE MISSING OUT BIG TIME! Can I come in for just a moment to tell you about your path to a better life?

Vivaldi's UI is pretty minimal by default and can be minimized even more. Heck you even can hide the tab- and url-bar and completely navigate with F2. You can call it a day and keep using it like that or you go on to create mouse gestures, quick commands or themes, you set the key combos, configure the look of your speed dial and add search engines. That's my last try, Neo. Do you take the red or the blue pill?

Ahahaha. Thanks but no thanks. I don't have a fear of missing out and I don't see myself using Vivaldi as my default browser in anytime soon.

Good luck with your conversion efforts.
