Come back to me when Firefox has workspaces, tab stacking, a side panel, and the rest of the aesthetic customization of Vivaldi.
You’re a fanboy, clearly, but you haven’t actually argued why Firefox is better, just that you like it more because you’re seething at chromium.
Firefox lost because it used to be shitty and everyone just assumed it still is, whoops. Better luck next time. When Vivaldi stops blocking ads natively without an installed ad blocker (still haven’t noticed any YouTube ads post V3) I’ll consider switching. Until then, this “bUt cHrOmiUm” shit is just a joke.
I can use just the same logic with Firefox too. Workspace is in firefox as Container. Actually it’s been forever. Self hostable sync? The idea of logging in to an account to a company in a browser nonetheless is horrifying. Vivaldi talks about how great their privacy feature is but their default Adblock on Vivaldi is no match to ubo so no real benefit when I’m just going to have to install ubo atop. Oh and default enabled Google services? No thanks.
Bringing Vivaldi or basically any other browser is kinda missing the point. Someone can make the very same features happen with Gecko. I’m mostly concerned with privacy which I think I made clear which is the reason I don’t get why you try to point out the clear fact that I’m a fanboy. I am. To be clear, I hate Google. I use Duckduckgo to search, Nextcloud for drive, Piped for youtube frontend and so on. I try to avoid Google and other unnessesary privacy concerning things as much as I can.
None of that is chromium. Vivaldi could have built that on top of Firefox, but didn’t. As to why Firefox is better, the very fact that it’s an alternative that is keeping up technically is a benefit. It’s less a ‘V-shaped engine’ monopoly and moreso a ‘V8 engine made by a specific company’ monopoly. They have far too much control over the direction of web standards. Much of what they are doing is actually good, but it should then be spread based on merit, rather than because they directly control almost the entire market.
