Anyone using Vivaldi browser?

[ShadeDream]

I used to be a hardcore Firefox user and still am in a way but more recently I've started using Chrome just to browse BHW. I still prefer Firefox and think it has better features and much more extensions other than the small things like the ability to preview YouTube videos, I mean you can preview porn videos yet YouTube preview won't work on Firefox, seems funny. So anyway, I've been thinking of using Vivaldi, I found out about it maybe 2 or 3 years ago but haven't really used it for anything. I really like the design and the bookmarks section on the left, I'm not a fan of the Chrome extensions though, they should have designed their own platform. I'm not sure whether to start using Vivaldi, stick to Firefox and Chrome, or ditch the Chrome like platform and just do everything on Firefox again. Anyone using Vivaldi here?

Yep, I use it, but prefer Opera browser. Vivaldi & Opera are based on Chromium.

Vivaldi never heard of it

Vivaldi is great but Edge Chromium (as it is currently as Dev version) is amazing.

I'm using vivaldi but with a lot of bookmarks seems a bit slow maybe it's my pc.

Opera is a nice browser too and I like it but not exactly a fan of it. Have it installed though.

Apparently Google isn't really getting rid of adblockers, it's just creating a new API. That being said I think I will be sticking to Firefox.

Yeah, but my understanding is the API is going to limit the abilities of current adblockers and have preferential treatment towards not being able to block google based ads. Monopoly level stuff. But correct me if i'm mistaken.

Well according to the WIRED article that I've read no one knows for sure, at the moment it's all speculation, or at least Google seems to be denying the fact.
