What is your favorite browser? Feel free to share why.
#Vivaldi #browser #Firefox #Edge #Chrome #Safari #Opera #Windows #Linux #macos #iOS #Android
@jon@vivaldi.net Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!

Vivaldi is my daily driver, looking into Librewolf as my not-Chrome.
What I’d really like is the Vivaldi shell, as & tracker blocking, etc, with the Firefox HTML & js engines. No google or moz bullshit, just a nice clean shell and engines.@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
@jon@vivaldi.net After dropping Opera, I now mostly use Waterfox. Vivaldi is also on my desktop and laptop. But so is Brave, Firefox and DuckDuckGO. Edge is also on there, but only because MS won’t allow me to remove it :(
@jon@vivaldi.net I’ve been using Vivaldi lately, but I also like Firefox and Librewolf. However the internet today feels like that of 2000, so many websites only work with todays IE (Chrome), so yeah, the options are either Chromium or Gecko; and the latter doesn’t work for all websites.
It’s a very sad state of affairs.

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 I started to really like ARC until recently when I heard they are focusing on a new project. Then I would say Firefox and Safari
@jon@vivaldi.net I use chrome because I have a chromebook right now, but when I’m running Linux its librewolf
@jon@vivaldi.net Brave, as you get a Chromium experience without Google nasties and a built in ad/tracker blocker
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox is my favorite when I can use it, but at least on my new Mac, I found Firefox was misbehaving for inexplicable reasons. Shrug, I don’t mind Safari that much, and for when AdGuard for Safari isn’t working, I also have AdGuard Home running on my home network.
#Firefox because of Multi-Account Containers
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because its the only real alternative to chrome and its clones, firefox its still the most customizable browser, vivaldi its the second, but the biggest con of vivaldi feels that its the slower among chrome clones
@jon@vivaldi.net Different Browsers for different situations
- Safari
- Edge
- Brave
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox for the gecko engine vs the overwhelming power (and use) of Chrome’s Blink.

I’m pretty sure this just reflects “people who know what a browser is”, or least “people who know enough about browsers to have an opinion”.
