For me I use both Vivaldi and firefox.
I like Vivaldi cause its all about customizability and has decent privacy.
I like firefox because it doesn't have to have chromiums bad choices (not including jpegxl, manifest v3, etc). Of the course the defaults aren't the best, but it is also very customizable (even if its harder to customize than Vivaldi).
@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf is just better than firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net I like Firefox as a platform, but don't like it as a browser
@jon@vivaldi.net
I use #Zen because its #Firefox without the drama. Plus workspaces!
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox because not chromium based. Vivaldi out of all chromium based
@jon@vivaldi.net Opera from before the switch to chromium remains my favorite to this day, every browser I've used since doesn't feel as feature complete or as fun as Opera did.
@p4@masto.ai , I am very proud of what we built at Opera at that time, but you will find that and more in Vivaldi now.
@jon@vivaldi.net I'll need to take another closer look at it then.
@jon I'm a Vivaldi supporter since V1. Because of open privacy (MV3) and open finger printing support I use more & more FF and Zen in the last months ... ;-( But I love Vivaldi, great team support and the Vivaldi style
@jon@vivaldi.net @zenbrowser@fosstodon.org
#zenbrowser because it's Firefox with left side tabs, better interface and better privacy.

@jon@vivaldi.net under Android only Opera and Aloha, under Windows Chrome and Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net no option for brave ? 🤔 otherwise i prefer firefox.

@jon@vivaldi.net 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@vivaldi.net I was a long-time Opera aficionado, only dropped it when they switched to WebKit (and then Blink) and the last Presto-based version became obsolete (TLS-wise, mostly). Switched to Firefox, with which I'll stick as long as it maintains Gecko. Would love to jump to Vivaldi, but we need more independent rendering engines for the health of the web.
@jon@vivaldi.net i use the #Firefox clones on desktop and mobile for more #privacy & plugins for #security (see links):

Has anyone tried floorp? I’ve been using it and it seems good with side tabs. Any others with opinion (good or bad) about it?
@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.
Firefox because only it supports (via an extension) having different sessions in different tabs, so I can log into 3 different accounts at the same website at the same time and use the same browser window for all of them. I need this and won't move to a different browser.
@jon@vivaldi.net Orion! We got a kagi subscription a while back and I enjoyed it so much I decided to try their browser. It blocks youtube ads on all my devices, so it's a keeper
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi and Zen browsers. Cuz I like customizability. Zen feels faster though. Vivaldi and Fennec on Android.
@jon@vivaldi.net
I use Chromium which is a complete browser that every Chromium based browser uses. It gets the work done.
Firefox for everything else.
@jon@vivaldi.net safari and Firefox. Alternative to chromium-based browsers.
@jon@vivaldi.net I love Safari because it's not chrome & it's got sleek apple design & it means I don't have to use the loathsome firefox
@jon@vivaldi.net i kind of hate them all, each for a different reason...
@jon@vivaldi.net Team Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net Ordinare use: Chrome. Security work: Firefox.
@jon@vivaldi.net
Checked FF on Desktop but use Fennec on Android because it's not Chrome🤷
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 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 #zenBrowser
@jon@vivaldi.net Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.
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 I like Firefox and Vivaldi.
FF is totally open source and often renders fonts better than Chromium-based browsers and the PDF reader is more robust. I'm currently working through an online training module and it's the only PDF program that lets me highlight sections of the provided documentation and will remember changes when I save the document.
Vivaldi has a ton of features and is pretty quick and responsive, especially on Android. Still having odd issues with the mail client and I'm really not sure what to make of or do with the new dashboard though.
