    @jon@vivaldi.net I would love to use Vivaldi, but unfortunately the Ad-Blocker on Android isn’t very good - Firefox using ublock-extension or Brave is doing a much better job there.

    @jon@vivaldi.net I would love to support Vivaldi more than I do but I worry about the Chromium base and also Firefox has its own plugin ecosystem.

    @jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, largely because I like supporting an alternative (non-Blink) rendering engine - I think a rendering engine monoculture is very dangerous for the internet as a whole.

    @jon@vivaldi.net I’m currently trying Zen, which is FF inside and Arc outside, basically.
    Re: why, I think Chrome is the new IE6, and we need more engines to keep the web open

    @jon@vivaldi.net It is my default browsing. Completely customizable, I adjust it to my way and it has many options and pluses such as blog, note taking, RSS reader, translator and much more.

    @jon@vivaldi.net After testing all the browsers my favourite is Vivaldi due to their focus on privacy and no crypto crap. I also like to browse their forums which has been helpful to me at times.

    @jon@vivaldi.net I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don’t want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there’s Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.

        @jon@vivaldi.net I already use Vivaldi since a botched Chromium browser update about a year ago. It’s just a little bit sad that there’s neither a lot of choice nor something like Chromium project but on a Gecko basis.

          I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.

          At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.

          Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.

    @jon@vivaldi.net I run with @Waterfox@mastodon.social and @brave@mastodon.social on my daily machines, but have access to #Opera, #Edge, #Firefox and #Chrome for UI testing.

    #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
