I am tempted to start using the @Vivaldi browser but then I looked* at the diversity in the underlying technology and I think it is better to promote and start using @firefox :firefox: more.
Or should we leave it to #Google :omya_google: and #Apple :apple_inc: only❓
I’m curious 😅 @Vivaldi why not use SpiderMonkey and Gecko❓

@dmenis @Vivaldi @firefox@lemmy.ml from my experience, @Firefox is very good and honestly, the option to customize your browser clean and choose specific settings/changes that Firefox gives you helps your #Privacy. Other things like @brave are there too. I think brave is based on Firefox. In my opinion, we should not wait for google and apple to hope they would do a Browser which has #OpenSource engines, with many add ons or other things and is private friendly. So, stay more with Firefox. #privacy ftw.
Brave is based on Chromium, not Firefox.
There are Firefox derivatives, but most “alternative” browsers are based on Chromium.
@Senshiro @dmenis @Vivaldi @firefox@lemmy.ml @Firefox@mstdn.social @brave There are things in firefox that piss me off. But, unfortunately, I did not find an alternative
@SergoZar @dmenis @Vivaldi @firefox@lemmy.ml @Firefox @brave what were points that you don’t like of it? So from that it depends what alternative would be the best

And I still want something that is not in any browser, so I did not add them to this list (and it is also difficult to formulate them because I only remember them when they can be useful)
Basically, Opera and Vivaldi are suitable for points 2-5 (and even for the first point, Vivaldi is suitable, but partially). But they are all closed source and therefore not suitable. So I have to work on Firefox

@Senshiro
P.S. Chrome/Chromium/Ungoogled Chromium - do not offer because they have a terrible inconvenient interface and 0 possibilities to configure something.
The only option that suits me is probably to make my browser based on either Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium. But I don’t know how, even though I’m a programmer
3/3

Brave is a bad browser. It hinders privacy more than it helps
@SergoZar @dmenis @Vivaldi @firefox@lemmy.ml @Firefox @brave even when Brave has this downsides, you didn’t find an alternative based on Chromium for an example?
