Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@[email protected] Firefox, because it has good privacy options, and their development tools are very useful

@[email protected] Firefox since early times. Now evaluating Vivaldi on Linux and iPad(I know same browser engine as Safari). Just curious

@[email protected] #DuckDuckGo is my favorite browser.

@[email protected] I use #Floorp now (Fork of Firefox).

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.

@[email protected] Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Sometimes i take Vimb for lighter browsing, but for the most time i stay attached to Firefox for the whole browsing experience and sync my tablet, laptop & smartphone with it.

@[email protected] Chrome and Brave - I don't care about Google as we pay a lot of money for SaaS by Google, there's no alternative to

@[email protected] I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

@[email protected] as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂

@[email protected] 日本語で書きます。翻訳サイトなど使ってください。
Firefoxは唯一日本語IMEの動作を正しく行ってくれます。なので文節などの変換が見やすく、安心できます。拡張が多くても不安定になりにくいです。Quantumは正しい判断だったと思います。

Chromium系(Elctronも)IMEの処理がおざなりで点線出しとけはいいだろうとしかとれない動作画面です。たまに文節区切りを見失いますし変なところになることがあります。

あとは垂直タブがあるかどうかで、その垂直タブもタブ同士の親子関係が表せられないと意味がないです。
ということでFirefox+Tree Style Tabが使いやすく、その次にVivaldiが来ます。

@[email protected] Firefox Focus on iOS. Refuses everything by default. Has a “delete session” button.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

@[email protected] I run with @[email protected] and @[email protected] on my daily machines, but have access to #Opera, #Edge, #Firefox and #Chrome for UI testing.

@[email protected] I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don't want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there's Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@fluchtkapsel

Indeed, we are using Chromium, but there really is not a lot of choice. I hope you will make the switch. If you liked Opera 12, you will love Vivaldi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] I already use Vivaldi since a botched Chromium browser update about a year ago. It's just a little bit sad that there's neither a lot of choice nor something like Chromium project but on a Gecko basis.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

@[email protected]

I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.

At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.

Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.

@[email protected] After testing all the browsers my favourite is Vivaldi due to their focus on privacy and no crypto crap. I also like to browse their forums which has been helpful to me at times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

@[email protected] It is my default browsing. Completely customizable, I adjust it to my way and it has many options and pluses such as blog, note taking, RSS reader, translator and much more.

@[email protected] Different Browsers for different situations

  • Safari

  • Brave

@[email protected]

Brave:
1.- is FOSS
2.- By default it is configured for privacy, I don't have to do anything extra.

@[email protected] Vivaldi + Brave All features potential of Vivaldi (panels, second-level tabs, workspaces, page actions, page tiling, translator, reading list...) + privacy/cookies/certificates/ad-blocker... features of Brave

@[email protected] Brave... because it loads fast, and has the best built in ad blocking. Please change your ad-blocker accordingly.
