@webology I have been using Firefox since forever, but then I saw this in your post that makes me think about my choice: "I also don’t trust their parent company because of where their money comes [...]". Any pointers to learn more on this?
@demstavrou Fwiw, this isn't meant to be an anti-Firefox piece. It's an anti-Google Chrome piece. Now that we have that out of the ways, most of their money comes from Google.
@webology Trying it. I like it, but I get intermittent freezes. Kill Vivaldi and restart helps. Also, lots of tabs in Vivaldi - other apps start having issues getting a http connection. Close Vivaldi, and those apps start working again. Annoying. Pixel 7 Pro, fully updated.
@LarsFosdal I have only installed the mobile app, but I haven't really dove in yet. I'll give that a try this week though. Thanks for the mention and I hope it's a serviceable issue.
@webology Yeah, I just tried that -- it worked, but searching for “1password in vivaldi” (which I tried originally) dumped me in some very sketchy wikis
shrug
Guess I'll give it a shot. So far, I'm more frustrated by the broken bits :D
@webology So far, the Chrome extension worked; I just didn't realize I could grab those freely.
Now to figure out if my massive set of profiles that I use Chrome for -- one per Google domain I have an account with -- is going to fit into this world.
(My use of profiles is why I cannot make the jump to Firefox; their UX for those is untenable on macOS, and nobody seems to get it)
@offby1 I haven't fully landed there for profiles. I still go back to Chrome for three or four profiles (work, non-profit 1, non-profit 2, whatever other profile I am forgetting)
I'd love to know how that goes.
I'm also going to try to move some mailing list organs off of Google Groups, which seem to serve no one outside of people who really just want email forwarded to their main accounts.
@webology such a good browser for work.
Built in mail client and calendar. Different workspaces so you can keep tabs/windows organised between jobs/functions.
@mahryekuh@webology Oh yes, I am always juggling with Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox for testing our web apps. For my personal browsing I switch between Safari, Firefox, Vivaldi. Depends on which one is the least annoying at a given time. :) Brave is on my black list.
The unconventional but nice defaults for many of the options

All the options
The unconventional and weird defaults for many of the options
I've spent so much time configuring it over the last week. 😬 Enjoying it so far though.
@webology, I'd love to see a write-up on the options you've tweaked from the defaults. I'd share something similar, but I haven't figured out how to determine what I changed.
