@jon@vivaldi.net I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don’t want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there’s Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.
@jon@vivaldi.net I run with @Waterfox@mastodon.social and @brave@mastodon.social on my daily machines, but have access to #Opera, #Edge, #Firefox and #Chrome for UI testing.
@jon@vivaldi.net Firefox Focus on iOS. Refuses everything by default. Has a “delete session” button.
@jon@vivaldi.net @kazuhito@vivaldi.net Waterfox and Qutebrowser!
@jon@vivaldi.net I’m currently trying Zen, which is FF inside and Arc outside, basically.
Re: why, I think Chrome is the new IE6, and we need more engines to keep the web open@jon@vivaldi.net 日本語で書きます。翻訳サイトなど使ってください。
Firefoxは唯一日本語IMEの動作を正しく行ってくれます。なので文節などの変換が見やすく、安心できます。拡張が多くても不安定になりにくいです。Quantumは正しい判断だったと思います。Chromium系(Elctronも)IMEの処理がおざなりで点線出しとけはいいだろうとしかとれない動作画面です。たまに文節区切りを見失いますし変なところになることがあります。
あとは垂直タブがあるかどうかで、その垂直タブもタブ同士の親子関係が表せられないと意味がないです。
ということでFirefox+Tree Style Tabが使いやすく、その次にVivaldiが来ます。@jon@vivaldi.net
General usage: LibreWolf
Dev: Polypane by @Kilian@mastodon.social@jon@vivaldi.net I use duckduckgo
@jon@vivaldi.net as Linux based devs are just ~3 % of all users, it has no meaning for the overall picture 😂
@jon@vivaldi.net I like the hypocrisy of open source community as everybody uses Firefox and the overall usage is under 3 %
Sometimes i take Vimb for lighter browsing, but for the most time i stay attached to Firefox for the whole browsing experience and sync my tablet, laptop & smartphone with it.
@jon@vivaldi.net Chrome and Brave - I don’t care about Google as we pay a lot of money for SaaS by Google, there’s no alternative to

@jon@vivaldi.net Safari because it’s fast, reliable, has a beautiful design, fits well in the Apple ecosystem and it’s not Chromium!
@jon@vivaldi.net
#Firefox got a ton of variants/forks recently.
- #Librewolf
- #MullvadBrowser
- #ZenBrowser
- #Midori
So yeah I take Firefox + Arkenfox user.js or Librewolf if they fixed their CI/CD
TIL Midori migrated to Gecko in 2019
@jon@vivaldi.net After dropping Opera, I now mostly use Waterfox. Vivaldi is also on my desktop and laptop. But so is Brave, Firefox and DuckDuckGO. Edge is also on there, but only because MS won’t allow me to remove it :(
