Vivaldi is probably the only Chromium based browser I would consider. It is my alternative when I am not using Firefox. Yeah it is pretty good.

I will say, like I mentioned about Firefox, if you scroll down in the comments you will find people saying Vivaldi will fade to obscurity without implementing some kind of AI.

Frankly I appreciate Vivaldi's stance: it isn't ready yet, too many issues and problems to add agents into our ecosystem.

By the way Vivaldi is like a swiss knife: you can take notes, email, calendar, tasks, so much stuff! On the other hand it often chokes on updates and the sync is less then perfect.

@NewNewAugustEast

The reason I didn't mention the (synced, hierarchical, markdown) notes, mail, RSS feed, calendar, pomodoro timer, read later feature, in-browser tilling window manager, etc (probably forgot something)

And if you count things connected to the vivaldi.net account:
Email address, Blogg platform, forum, (sync), and social media platform (Mastodon instance),
Whatever https://onlyfjords.com/ is
Again, I might have missed something

Is:
0. I didn't know that you had used it before, didn't want to "scare" you with "too many features"

  1. my message was exactly the amount of characters allowed in a Mastodon post
  2. People coming from ff today probably just want a browser, not half an operating system (Emacs reference) and you don't have to even turn on most of those features (I don't even use all of them)

⚠️Rambling tangent ahead ️⚠️

Come to think of it, if I were only able to have 2 graphical programs installed on my computer, it would be Emacs and Vivaldi
Ofcourse I'm not counting the x11 server and a minimal Window-manager, but those aren't really graphical programs are they

And even though the features overlap between the 2(Vivaldi notes, Emacs org-mode, and so on), I still dare put Vivaldi on that high of a pedestal, it's just that good

Its nice... but it still is chrome. And that makes it not going to be my main browser.

Ever tried Floorp?
