Vivaldi is so close to being good, but…
A) Chromium
B) Proprietary
C) Chromium
So far ublock is working flawlessly. I’ll find an alternative when it doesn’t.
No AI, but it’s still a chromium reskin.
but more practical
on bootleg streaming sites the ads are too much
on phones Vivaldi shines very bright by having a built-in adblocker
combine this with a VPN and cooking with fire
Firefox mobile let’s you use extensions, and if you know what youre doing you can even use desktop extensions. IronFox (Hardened FF mobile) comes with ublock origin by default. Then, if you use Mullvad VPN, you can install the Mullvad proxy extension and have up to 3 hops within your phone alone.
does vivaldi android have addons support (uBO)? or is the builtin adblock good enough?
good enough for sure
Until Firefox gets better tab stacking, I will stick with Vivaldi. Its tab stacking is miles ahead of any other browser
tree style tabs works really well tho, i haven’t even tried mozilla’s implementation yet sinve TST works so well
That’s not for me, I need tab stacking

They did just recently make it a lot more convenient to manage tabs. I haven’t used Vivaldi in a long time, so I don’t know how it would compare. It’s better than it was, though.
Seems to be slightly better than what I saw when I tried it last year. I just dislike their overall implementation, I hope a fork will have something more like vivaldi someday
I love Vivaldi. I love its download graph.
And I love that it surfaces RSS and as an icon and other things like reader and qr code, as well as being able to install any site via simple right click on a tab as opposed to being buried like everyone else.
has vivaldi fixed the sync stuff yet? that’s the reason I switched from it before. Seemed like depending on which way the wind was blowing sync would either work or not work. If they managed to get that working and working reliably i’d move back to it. Yeah I really don’t care that it’s chromium, it’s a decent browser and having an email client built in is very nice.
The sync situation has definitely improved but I experience occasional hiccups. What bothers me the most at the moment is that the address bar is very forgetful of your browsing history, you need to open the history tab way more often than you should need to. And even then it doesn’t go back more than a few months it feels like.
would’ve been nice if this was a great lightweight browser like opera 12. the featuees are nice but its heavy web based ui makes my potato machine walk/crawl…
