@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 Zen Browser
@jon@vivaldi.net I have several : Floorp, Dillo+, Tor Browser, Vivaldi, Ladybird top my list.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, because of the non-monoculture rendering engine.
@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.

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 Selected
Opera for the Android mobile version with auto-reflow on zoom.@jon@vivaldi.net Librewolf, because it is not Google controlled then Vivaldi and Brave they all have different uses
@jon@vivaldi.net
I trust Vivaldi, the company, to do right by me more than the developers of the other browsers.@jon@vivaldi.net Code infused Silverlight™, so it makes the Software and Hardware better from running. #NoOffPC
@jon@vivaldi.net I use Watefox, based on Firefox, has Mozilla login/sync and an Android client too
@jon@vivaldi.net Appropriately set up I use Firefox.🙏
@jon@vivaldi.net I hate them all for different reasons. Here are my requirements:
- Ad blocker should be the default, no matter what corporations think.
- It should be possible to inspect and manipulate the code in real time.
- It should be FOSS.
- It should not force feed proprietary technologies or antifeatures.
- It should not require gazillion of RAM or storage. Why I would need 100-150 MB just for a text?
@jon@vivaldi.net Hands down Lynx. No javascript, no images, no self-playing movies.
