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@vivaldi.net Use Firefox for regular and Mullvad browser for advanced. Additionally, tor but rare personally.
@jon@vivaldi.net Big fan of Vivaldi....and Brave. I'd love to love another
@jon@vivaldi.net 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@vivaldi.net Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.
@jon@vivaldi.net 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@vivaldi.net Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)
@jon@vivaldi.net Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, but I can’t really explain why because it’s a lot of tiny things that make it better, but the fact it isn’t Chromium-based is probably the most significant point. And probably a bit of nostalgia too.
@jon@vivaldi.net 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.

On macOS it doesn’t feel native like f.e. Orion does. Also often the scrolling feels weird: content not moving as fast as your finger.
I've been using it at home for quite some time now. I wonder though why some corporate environments started outright blocking Vivaldi.
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.
@jon@vivaldi.net Zen
@jon@vivaldi.net I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because of the non-monoculture rendering engine.
@jon@vivaldi.net Selected
Opera for the Android mobile version with auto-reflow on zoom.
@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses
@jon@vivaldi.net
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.
@jon@vivaldi.net Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC
@jon@vivaldi.net I use Watefox, based on Firefox, has Mozilla login/sync and an Android client too
@jon@vivaldi.net Appropriately set up I use Firefox.🙏
@jon@vivaldi.net I hate them all for different reasons. Here are my requirements:
@jon@vivaldi.net Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.
@jon@vivaldi.net right now zen browser
@jon@vivaldi.net brave o waterfox
@jon@vivaldi.net about:config
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Waterfox.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox. Especially because it has containers.
@jon@vivaldi.net For me on Windows performance is more or less the same for all the above browsers. Edge is decent and do all what the average user needs. I like Vivaldi because is tweakable (I like the idea of the mail client but something on the UI doesn't work for me, maybe I'm only used with Outlook). Firefox because I use it since it was Phoenix and I'm so sorry it is dieing.
@jon@vivaldi.net
Checked FF on Desktop but use Fennec on Android because it's not Chrome🤷
@jon@vivaldi.net I used FF since its first release, its my workhorse, and I use a lot of privacy plugins. I like the Interface, its fast, zoom is good, And my perception is, the plugin interface is more open and there are more powerful plugins as with chome based browsers
also I liked opera in the past and such the vivaldi concept is really nice.
its fast, the redraw when zooming is distracting, zoom could have more finer steps,
@jon@vivaldi.net under Android only Opera and Aloha, under Windows Chrome and Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net I’m a Safari user. Mostly because integration and it is not built by/for ad money.
Apple's ad business is a $4B/year industry, the vast majority of it from web searches in Safari.
@jon@vivaldi.net @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org
@jon@vivaldi.net Using #Arc browser and loving almost all of it. It's like #Chrome on steroids for UX.
@jon@vivaldi.net Ordinare use: Chrome. Security work: Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net None. All have flaws.
Browsers are poorly designed, fundamentally. There is no reason to have media player, etc, into what should be a text / hyperlink display.
The only good thing about Vivaldi is F2ing (screenshot). Otherwise you provide bloatware filled with quirks.
@jon@vivaldi.net i kind of hate them all, each for a different reason...
@jon@vivaldi.net my favourite is Zen.
@jon@vivaldi.net I use #Floorp now (Fork of Firefox).
@jon@vivaldi.net I use Vivaldi on my Mac because it has a Chromium base, so it has a lot of compatibility benefits that provides, while also providing good privacy and a great experience that I can customize to work how I want it. I used to be a large proponent of Firefox, but I don’t like their recent modus operi of shoving god-knows what into the browser.
I also really like Safari. It’s a great mobile browser, and even on the Mac it gives me good battery life, and syncs across all my Apple devices.
@jon@vivaldi.net
There's no one. Hopefully Servo or Ladybird helps me decide.
