@jon Librewolf. Based on Firefox but more lightweight. I'll never use a Chromium-based browser in my life anymore.
@jon@vivaldi.net I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %
@jon@vivaldi.net as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂
@jon@vivaldi.net
Safari on iOS (with extensions);
LibreWolf on Windows.
Nothing else. 🛡️
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi. Chromium-based. No AI bullshit. No spyware.
@jon@vivaldi.net
Vivaldi is my choice.
Here's why: It's the only browser which doesn't force users into AI or is fully relying on ads. It's the only browser I can donate to per month or year (I won't count Mozilla/Firefox in cause Firefox is a product of the commercial part of Mozilla).
Finally: Vivaldi is the only browser company I know of which is owned by the employees.
I'd prefer to have a fully open source browser but I do understand the reason why Vivaldi isn't.
@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo
@jon@vivaldi.net
General usage: LibreWolf
Dev: Polypane by @Kilian@mastodon.social
@jon@vivaldi.net i’m knee deep in firefox for now, but will be trying vivaldi when i get my health back together a bit
@jon@vivaldi.net @kazuhito@vivaldi.net Waterfox and Qutebrowser!
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox Focus on iOS. Refuses everything by default. Has a “delete session” button.
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!
Glad to hear that. Thanks for your support.
Have you tried looking at the Windows panel? You can sort tabs there. The search there is pretty helpful as well.
We continue to work on the ad blocker. It will continue to improve.

@jon can't live without Vivaldi's workspaces
But I heard they too will eventually capitulate in Google's fight against ad blockers and when that happens I guess I'll have to learn
We will do our best to keep you happy. We will not least continue to improve our ad blocker.
@jon It IS pretty good, sure. At the very least it doesn't randomly block my own collabora server unlike uBlock Origin.
But ultimately it's just not good enough. So the day I can't run uBlock Origin, my browsing experience will be immediately horrible
This is VERY MUCH a deal breaker. Overnight the browser will become essentially unusable. And I know because I use the mobile version already where I can't install an adblocker and... yeah, it sucks
@jon Vivaldi on android is the only one that does tabs right IMO with the tab bar.
Firefox is nice because it's one of the only ones not using chromium or WebKit and with, finally, vertical tabs I am pretty happy using it on desktop again.
And Vivaldi and Zen Browser because of the amazing split screen feature.
But I prefer Zens sidebar tabs and the fact its also based on Gecko.
So for me it's Zen and Firefox on Desktop and Vivaldi on Android.
Which makes me unable to use sync :/
@jon 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.
