Since Brave is apparently absolutely terrible, is Vivaldi any better IF YOU CAN'T USE FIREFOX*? - lemm.ee

I daily drive Firefox, but more and more websites are starting to break without Chromium, so I still have to occasionally switch to get something working. I was using Ungoogled Chromium until I realized that there was no easy way to update it when that pixel-stealing exploit came out a while back. To be clear, I’m not talking about stock “no settings changed” Vivaldi. With that requirement, even Firefox could be called invasive! What I want to know is if Vivaldi is relatively safe to use with all the telemetry and stuff disabled in the settings and using any necessary extensions. Thanks!

    Vivaldi is pretty good, just ignored because it’s not opensource. It does not come across as Chrome/Brave evil.

    I use Vivaldi alongside Firefox. And yes, Vivaldi is great. It has a really really nice tab management system which I really wish was on Firefox. Otherwise it’s very fast and very customisable. I recommend to at least give it a solid try.

    Although not OpenSource it is Source Available: https://vivaldi.com/source/

      Isn’t it weird that people complain about broken sites on firefox suddenly can’t remember the website’s name when asked?
