How about Vivaldi Browser? (lemdro.id)

I know we aren't allowed to use Chrome. We can't use Brave. But how does the Lemmy community feel about the Vivaldi Browser? or is it still not Firefox...

Ignore the fanbois here. Vivaldi is solid. I will ditch it like an old sock if they end up having to adopt the new standards Google is pushing though. I'm confident Vivaldi will fight doing so until bitter end. I hope they are even willing to switch engines if needbe.

Since you apparently have ideas. What is the issue with using Vivaldi with ublock and/or some other privacy extensions?

Dunno how much I trust that website anyway. Firefox has a setting to force HTTPS mode for instance but that's not reflected in the lists on that page.

Keep calm fan boy.

Ah yes, the classic - doesn't know what they're talking about -> gets called out for it -> resorts to name calling due to lack of arguments

Wait what's wrong with Brave? Is there drama?!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nothing, it's actually a very fine browser with a very capable adblocker.

EDIT: aaand instant downvote from Mozilla shills or drama queens lol

Brave is a good option. Vivaldi is closed source, so if your all about FOSS, then Vivaldi is not an option.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firefox is the only good choice since everything else is built on chromium.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Bullshit. Plenty of other browsers based on other engines like WebKit.
