I still prefer FF or Vivaldi over Google Chrome. Yes Vivaldi is Open Source Chromium, but at least it doesn't have the Chrome crap in it.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Vivaldi contains Chromium, but it isn't itself open-source, by the way.

They say of themselves that "for all practical purposes the Vivaldi source code is available for audit". I would not fully agree with that either, but I guess, at that point the open-source purists have already lost interest anyways.

It's still the same rendering engine. There are two browsers.

[-] akilou@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

3 if you count Safari

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That's like saying there's only 5 games because they use the same game engine

[-] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

You can't compare games to browsers tho

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not comparing them, it's an analogy

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't know that each browser accesses different content on a different internet. I'll have to check that out. /s

I tried Vivaldi, it's a good browser but I prefer Brave because it has build it Tor. In my country most torrent sites are blocked so a built-in Tor is useful to me, it can open those sites without VPN.

Brave is also a shifty shady browser that has problems with inserting affiliate links without telling you and selling off user data. They're really not better or remotely trustworthy TBH, you might as well use the actual TOR browser built on Firefox if you need that capability.

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I don't understand how Brave became acceptable all of the sudden.

Did they do some big marketing campaign in the US or something?

[-] SouravSatvaya@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

They definitely did some marketing, because it came out of nowhere. When I first installed it, it was all over the internet, from YouTube to webpages. A similar thing you can notice with the Arc Browser. I couldn't find any exceptional features on the Arc Browser but the hype is encouraging people to try it.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Yup, work in a call center and it was a huge ramp up all of a sudden with elderly clients on brave and asking why our site stopped working...

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Also the android app is crap and keeps crashing, and their ad blocker is mich inferior to the glory of ublock origin

[-] outerspace@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Is there a mobile Vivaldi counterpart? It doesn't make sense for me that I can't share history with desktop and mobile together

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago
[-] outerspace@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Oh I remember now, it doesn't support extensions

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I use FF mobile for that reason but mostly Vivaldi on desktop

[-] zerofk@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

There is, but on iPhone at least it sucks. I love Vivaldi on desktop - every time I try something else I quickly give up. But on mobile I can’t endorse it at the moment.

Perhaps it’s better on Android though, I don’t know.
