@[email protected] as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂

@[email protected] I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %

Sometimes i take Vimb for lighter browsing, but for the most time i stay attached to Firefox for the whole browsing experience and sync my tablet, laptop & smartphone with it.

@[email protected] Chrome and Brave - I don't care about Google as we pay a lot of money for SaaS by Google, there's no alternative to

@[email protected] Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!

Vivaldi is my daily driver, looking into Librewolf as my not-Chrome.
What I'd really like is the Vivaldi shell, as & tracker blocking, etc, with the Firefox HTML & js engines. No google or moz bullshit, just a nice clean shell and engines.

#Firefox got a ton of variants/forks recently.

• #Librewolf
• #MullvadBrowser
• #ZenBrowser
• #Midori

So yeah I take Firefox + Arkenfox user.js or Librewolf if they fixed their CI/CD

@[email protected] After dropping Opera, I now mostly use Waterfox. Vivaldi is also on my desktop and laptop. But so is Brave, Firefox and DuckDuckGO. Edge is also on there, but only because MS won't allow me to remove it :(

@[email protected] I’ve been using Vivaldi lately, but I also like Firefox and Librewolf. However the internet today feels like that of 2000, so many websites only work with todays IE (Chrome), so yeah, the options are either Chromium or Gecko; and the latter doesn’t work for all websites.

It’s a very sad state of affairs.

Just wish Google was not used in vivaldi , so when I don't want their influence I use ddg . if there is a way to keep Google completely out of Vivaldi. I'd like to know how.
Thanks MTT

@[email protected] I started to really like ARC until recently when I heard they are focusing on a new project. Then I would say Firefox and Safari

@[email protected] I use chrome because I have a chromebook right now, but when I'm running Linux its librewolf

@[email protected] Brave, as you get a Chromium experience without Google nasties and a built in ad/tracker blocker

#Firefox because of Multi-Account Containers

@[email protected] Firefox, because its the only real alternative to chrome and its clones, firefox its still the most customizable browser, vivaldi its the second, but the biggest con of vivaldi feels that its the slower among chrome clones

@[email protected] Firefox, despite Mozilla’s current trajectory because the Chromium monopoly will ultimately harm the web.

Hope to use @[email protected] someday 🤞

@[email protected] Firefox is my favorite when I can use it, but at least on my new Mac, I found Firefox was misbehaving for inexplicable reasons. Shrug, I don’t mind Safari that much, and for when AdGuard for Safari isn’t working, I also have AdGuard Home running on my home network.

@[email protected] Different Browsers for different situations

• Safari
• Edge
• Brave

@[email protected] Firefox for the gecko engine vs the overwhelming power (and use) of Chrome's Blink.

I'm pretty sure this just reflects "people who know what a browser is", or least "people who know enough about browsers to have an opinion".

@[email protected] Pale Moon. It's single-process, so if something goes wrong, I can kill the browser simply. It supports the plugins and extensions I need, want, and use on a daily basis. It doesn't support DRM, RTC, or the concepts pushed on us by DoubleClick. I'm very happy with the browser.

Many, many comments here. :tony_laughing:

So a lot of interest in this question.
No wonder really, here on 'Mastodon'.

Veery good. :tony_wee:

Maybe someone else is interested in digging through here. ;-) ;-)

I'm sure several people will take a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' afterwards.

@[email protected] Arc, with spaces, profiles, boosts, and really considered design decisions, it works really well for what I do.

@[email protected] LibreWolf for privacy &
Vivaldi for functionality

LibreWolf and Mull. I did use Chromium recently for a web-based GrapheneOS install, that was kind of cool.

@[email protected] Edge because it's the only one on the market that has an option to:

1. Ask if you want to open or save the download
2. If the user wants to open it without saving, it saves it in a temporary directory
3. Automatically deletes that downloaded file when closing the browser

I like to keep my downloads folder clean, sorry 😢

@[email protected]
Because 'Vivaldi' is simply the world's best browser for me.

Especially on 'Linux'.
And has been for a long time.

I think it's also worth taking a closer look at the 'Vivaldiserve' behind it. ;-)

Currently Firefox in first place, then Safari just ahead of Vivaldi here. :tony_unhappy:

I think many people here have simply not yet looked at Vivaldi for all platforms.
Based on 'Chromium', 100% open source.

:tony_happy: :tony_smiling: :tony_wee:

@[email protected] I like Zen browser because it comes with vertical tabs, screenshot feature, and familiar dev tools.

Moreover, unlike Safari, it works well on macOS and Slack notification. When I checked my Slack tab on Safari, I usually found that it didn't load the page yet although I didn't shutdown or restart the computer.

@[email protected] Zen Browser @[email protected]

@[email protected] #Firefox, because not Chrome.

@[email protected]

Firefox because it isn't chromium, and I just like it. With chromium, google controls the web. Doesn't matter what kind of wrapper a third party puts on it. It's still chromium and it's still google.

I don't have one anymore. They all seem to either embraced tge AI BS, will be ruined be Google's F-ing manifest v3, ir they're made by yucky folk.

As soon as anyone outs out a browser that just shows websites and allows for best possible privacy without dicking around, I'll use that.

@[email protected]

I currently use:

Firefox on the desktop
Librewolf on the Linux laptop
Waterfox on my main phone

Vivaldi on my other persona on desktop, laptop and second phone.

Also going to try Floop and Zen.

Ostensibly I want to use Firefox forks but I find Vivaldi pretty cool despite being Chromium, especially on mobile.

TBH, none of them are ideal. I'd love to have one browser with multiple profiles across multiple devices, but I find that doesn't work for me.

@[email protected] Firefox for now, although for how much longer is unknown. Over the course of time, it's become slower and somewhat bloated from what I can tell.
I've been tweaking and twiddling another browser, when I have time, to see if a smooth transition can eventually take place.

Firefox right now, and pretty happy with it, but Vivaldi is increasingly starting to sound like a contender.

@[email protected] Zen Browser

@[email protected] I use Vivaldi for several years on both, desktop (Windows) and mobile (Android), and i can tell you all without fear, without no regrets, that it give me all what i need to surf internet on the better and secure way i ever prof with any other browser

@[email protected] 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.

@jon Vivaldi. Because it's better than Firefox. Haters gonna hate.
