Everyone talks about Firefox. And that's cause Firefox is good and hands down the best. But I've been using Vivaldi which is chromium based for years. Anyone have any opinion on Vivaldi?
Vivaldi is based on Chromium. So it basically gets placed in the same field as Chrome and Edge.
Basically except they dumped the parts they didn't like and built it out to be better than anything else based on chromium.
So it's leagues above both of those browsers.
chromium is fine though? doesn't send any data over. Just has a problem with addons pretty sure
I use it for work stuff, so it's not my daily driver and I wish Firefox just copied some of the stuff.
Tiling and Grouping is just neat.
or if Vivaldi switched to the firefox engine it would be perfect.
I love Vivaldi, if Firefox could do side bar and tab grouping id use it but V just does it better and with built in ad blocking.
I use Edge and can’t switch to Firefox for the same reasons. There’s stuff I use on Edge that is not available on Firefox. Unfortunately, those are dealbreakers for me.
There is an extension for tab grouping (simple tab groups). It and ublock origin are the two main ones I install first when I install FF fresh.
Side tabs I'm not sure of, but I'd be more surprised if there isn't an extension for that, too.
Even if there was it's going to bloat the fuck out of the install, unfortunately.
