At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors.

@jon i know you've adblocker. But do you have compartimentalization between sites? PS: I tend to unblock ads using ABP's privacy respecting ad sites list.

@jon I love how Vivalidi is the only mainstream browser that allows you to have the URL field in the tab bar natively.

[africanbeauty@mastodon.social]

@jon how good is it ?

[mwt@mastodon.nz]

@Ketakater @jon it isn't like that on my version. :| Maybe the MacOS version is different?

[ketakater@social.vivaldi.net]

@mwt @jon don't know. I'm using it on my Windows machine and on android

Love Vivaldi. I heard about it here, on Mastodon, tried it and have been with it ever since. No bugs! Ah...

[seanpm2001@techhub.social]

@jon Vivaldi is still a problem. Your browser is not only closed source software, but it is based on Chromium, meaning you are just another Google browser, like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. I am unhappy with Firefox at the moment, but I will keep using it, as I refuse to support Google.

[lisp_1@social.vivaldi.net]

@seanpm2001 My sentiments exactly.

[lisp_1@social.vivaldi.net]

@bucachowchow me too.

It looked promising when I checked it out, but I'd humbly recommend that either the Google checkboxes be unchecked by default, or the user is shown a message during setup pointing them out.

@jon In the words of my mother: vivaldi is too messy out of the box.

That, together with the pain one has to go through if one wants to remove all the "big tech" style ads and disable the associated trickery, makes it really hard to recommend.

[caycedo@oye.social]

@jon how working with chromium makes Vivaldi away from big tech?

[abosio@fosstodon.org]

@jon I’m loving Vivaldi as a recent convert but the last piece of my workflow puzzle is stack syncing between mobile and desktop. 🙏

[controlfreak@todon.eu]

@lexinova oof on the hateful cdn, plus as others have noted, their additions to chromium are closed...

[amitie@m.cmx.im]

@jon This is my main browser now and I'm in China.

[sarae@ecoevo.social]

@jon I have been trying it and like it but am still trying to figure out how the starting menus system works

[dextivestudios@mastodon.art]

@jon No AI is based.

@jon

Is it easy to migrate from Firefox and keep saved bookmarks and login passwords ?
