@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, despite Mozilla’s current trajectory because the Chromium monopoly will ultimately harm the web.
Hope to use @servo@floss.social someday 🤞
WaterFox!
@jon@vivaldi.net
Firefox because it isn’t chromium, and I just like it. With chromium, google controls the web. Doesn’t matter what kind of wrapper a third party puts on it. It’s still chromium and it’s still google.
@jon@vivaldi.net
I currently use:
Firefox on the desktop
Librewolf on the Linux laptop
Waterfox on my main phoneVivaldi on my other persona on desktop, laptop and second phone.
Also going to try Floop and Zen.
Ostensibly I want to use Firefox forks but I find Vivaldi pretty cool despite being Chromium, especially on mobile.
TBH, none of them are ideal. I’d love to have one browser with multiple profiles across multiple devices, but I find that doesn’t work for me.
@jon@vivaldi.net I like Zen browser because it comes with vertical tabs, screenshot feature, and familiar dev tools.
Moreover, unlike Safari, it works well on macOS and Slack notification. When I checked my Slack tab on Safari, I usually found that it didn’t load the page yet although I didn’t shutdown or restart the computer.

@jon@vivaldi.net Zen Browser
@jon@vivaldi.net I choose Vivaldi as my favorite because I like many things about it. I use my home computer now for recipes, cash spreadsheets, and a shopping list. I had not previously used social media and this is a nice surprise for me to enjoy it. I used Netscape before Metacrawler and then I used shelves of books until trying Firefox. I used Chrome then Edge before I retired, but used Firefox and DuckDuckGo on home computers until I noticed Vivaldi about two years ago and put it on my home computer and laptop and cellphone. I like its many options and features and forums full of answers to questions I might ever need ask! It gives me a calendar and note and task pads and all sorts of things which optionally can sync and be seen when I use the browser on my cellphone or to choose not to sync. The very best is, when I removed Windows Operating System from my old laptop and replaced it with one of the Linux distributions now this Vivaldi continues to give me my familiar user experience. Thank you, to all and everyone who is and who are responsible for allowing me this user experience which followed me between operating systems, thank you.

Other -> LibreWolf@jon@vivaldi.net Safari, because all my passwords live in iCloud, and I really like how the touch gestures for back and forward work.
@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
Just wish Google was not used in vivaldi , so when I don’t want their influence I use ddg . if there is a way to keep Google completely out of Vivaldi. I’d like to know how.
Thanks MTT@jon@vivaldi.net can’t live without Vivaldi’s workspaces

We will do our best to keep you happy. We will not least continue to improve our ad blocker.
@jon@vivaldi.net 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.net Brave
@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
#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
TIL Midori migrated to Gecko in 2019
