@jon@vivaldi.net I found out that also Edge is quite nice. Very friendly, the tabs can be moved to the side position, the same panel as in Vivaldi, excellent translator. But there is not so easy to switch between search engines, also not so easy to switch to the main workspace, and there’s almost no Speed Dial.
I’ve been living with Edge (on macOS, imagine) for some months when Vivaldi has several annoying bugs, but later I came back to Vivaldi, and now Edge is my second browser, for some different cases :) Good luck!@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 Floorp. Firefox with better privacy and better interface.
@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 Orion for macOS (it uses WebKit, framework-native Mac application)
@jon@vivaldi.net Others browser are difficult to use on a Chromebook.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox, but I can’t really explain why because it’s a lot of tiny things that make it better, but the fact it isn’t Chromium-based is probably the most significant point. And probably a bit of nostalgia too.
@jon@vivaldi.net Vivaldi because it’s the most like Opera 12.18 and before, at least in spirit.
LibreWolf in second place because it’s more privacy focused than FireFox and I got used to FireFox between opera’s terrible switch to being chromium-based and Vivaldi being available.

On macOS it doesn’t feel native like f.e. Orion does. Also often the scrolling feels weird: content not moving as fast as your finger.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 Safari, because all my passwords live in iCloud, and I really like how the touch gestures for back and forward work.

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 Vivaldi. No dns leaks. Super fast. Sync is nice. Dark mode is so good. Integrated ad/tracker blocker works well.
