I know we aren’t allowed to use Chrome. We can’t use Brave. But how does the Lemmy community feel about the Vivaldi Browser? or is it still not Firefox…
Ignore the fanbois here. Vivaldi is solid. I will ditch it like an old sock if they end up having to adopt the new standards Google is pushing though. I’m confident Vivaldi will fight doing so until bitter end. I hope they are even willing to switch engines if needbe.
I know we aren’t allowed to use Chrome.
Who says? Use whatever you want, if you want to use Chrome then use it, nobody is stopping you.
As for Vivaldi, I personally think it’s the best Chromium browser out there, highly customizable with all the good stuff from old Opera without none of the garbage from current Opera, plus it seems to be reasonably respectful of your privacy. Their only mistake was building it on Chromium.
Wait what’s wrong with Brave? Is there drama?!
Nothing, it’s actually a very fine browser with a very capable adblocker.
EDIT: aaand instant downvote from Mozilla shills or drama queens lol
Stay away from vivaldi , people recommending vivaldi has no idea
Since you apparently have ideas. What is the issue with using Vivaldi with ublock and/or some other privacy extensions?
Check the link…
Thank you for proofing that you do not understand the information you provided
Dunno how much I trust that website anyway. Firefox has a setting to force HTTPS mode for instance but that’s not reflected in the lists on that page.
Keep calm fan boy.
Ah yes, the classic - doesn’t know what they’re talking about -> gets called out for it -> resorts to name calling due to lack of arguments
yeah yeah, i don’t know what I’m talking about that’s why using Vivaldi POS
🤡
Vivaldi has proprietary components that the developers will not disclose due to chronic fears of “corporate espionage”
Thus Vivaldi cannot be planted in a build farm nor be compiled yourself, so you have to take their precompiled binary and deal with it.
Stop being scared and use Librewolf and keep ungoogled chromium in the back for compatibility (and terrible nonfree “webapps”).
Nonfree browsers are a waste of everyones time.
Brave is a good option. Vivaldi is closed source, so if your all about FOSS, then Vivaldi is not an option.
Firefox is the only good choice since everything else is built on chromium.
Bullshit. Plenty of other browsers based on other engines like WebKit.
