Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 18:35:15 I switched away from Vivaldi because I heard the browser was chromium-based. Since Firefox is displaying their ass quite proudly, is #Vivaldi worth switching back? |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 18:45:09 @kidskylark i love vivaldi, no issues yet, but i’m no expert |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:03:07 @vae Hey, that's totally fair though. Do you use any extensions? |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:04:14 @kidskylark i have raindrop, an obsidian clipper, watch2gether and i use the stock feed reader that’s included. not much! |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 18:53:39 @kidskylark Worried about security or privacy with a chromium fork? I use Vivaldi as my second string browser, when Safari won’t work for a captcha or something. |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:06:19 @johnlehet Both are concerns, plus a little kindergarten-style "I'll take my ball and go home" pettiness of hating Google. Do you like Vivaldi when you use it? Do you use any extensions? |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:19:44 @kidskylark I even have connections to google.com blocked from my Mac with Little Snitch — I hate it that much. No extensions on Vivaldi, as they would come from the chrome store I think? Which means no 1Password. I like it fine. It always renders pages and never misbehaves. Mac safari is my main browser, and it misbehaves a lot, probably because of privacy and security settings. But still it’s the main browser. |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:12:39 @kidskylark I highly recommend Vivaldi! It's feature packed and the company is amazing. |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:14:14 @mathieulefrancois Yeah, I do appreciate that they maintain a presence on Fedi as well. Do you use any extensions? |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:16:37 @kidskylark I try to limit my extensions to the minimum. I have Proton Pass because that's what I use as my password manager, but that's it. |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:19:37 @mathieulefrancois Ah, gotcha. Not quite my style then, I have a bunch of extensions, including ad/tracker blockers and others. I may check it out but I'm also very interested in the Tor browser, which I haven't used before. |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:26:35 @kidskylark You can run any Chrome extensions on Vivaldi... Vivaldi's adblocker is pretty good, you can import lists to beef it up too though |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 19:27:35 @mathieulefrancois from chrome store, though, means that ublock is no longer available, correct? Google made a big hullabaloo about banning/removing it |
|
Föderation EN Sa 01.03.2025 22:10:47 @kidskylark that's correct yes. The built in adblocker on Vivaldi works pretty well though. |
|
Föderation FR Sa 01.03.2025 22:45:30 @kidskylark what do you have to reply to this @jon ? Is #Vivaldi worth switching back to it ? How the browser is different from the based Chromium (like removing all related to Google tracking). I ask because since yesterday I give another try to @Vivaldi |
|
Föderation FR So 02.03.2025 02:18:23 Obviously I believe Vivaldi is a better choice, but in earnest, the only way to find out is to try it. You can start by having a look at our Webpage, where there is a lot of details as to what sets Vivaldi apart: https://vivaldi.com/desktop/ Or if you like, you can read about some of the things we stand for: https://vivaldi.com/for-a-better-web/ |

Föderation FR So 02.03.2025 02:24:49 @jon @kidskylark @Vivaldi thank you Jon. I will read all these things tomorrow. 👍 |

Föderation FR So 02.03.2025 07:54:15 @jon @dominic @kidskylark @Vivaldi ce que je déplore de Vivaldi c'est que le résultats des recherches sont en anglais |
