I'm a web perf nerd, so I install every browser I can find and run all the benchmarks on https://browserbench.org on a regular basis.

I notice that (on Windows 11) Firefox is much better at Speedometer 3.0 than it was on 2.0.

It's scoring as well as Chrome most of the time, and outperforms Opera and Edge handily.

It still sucks at Jetpack 2.1 and MotionMark 1.3 though.

@Vivaldi is coming out on top right now!

I've always thought that Vivaldi was more of a UI experiment, what with all the drawers and such, but it's really benching well. I should daily drive it for a while and see how the PWA support is.

Testing the new 6.7 snapshot. I'm not sure if all these features are public knowledge, so I'm not going to talk too much about it right now, but there are some very cool things coming if all of this stays in the next stable release.

Hi @mike

The new 3319.12 is public, so the new features inside are offered to be tested and commented, so thanks for the future feedback and if you can send bug reports, for example…

Do people want AI in their browsers?

If the survey I did on Mastodon is anything to go by, most people do not.

2% Want AI in their browser.
25% Want AI in their browser, if their data is not used for other purposes, such as ads and profiling.
73% Do not want AI in their browser at all.

575 entered the poll.

A lot of browser companies are now pushing AI in their browsers.

I guess the 2% have a lot of browsers to choose between.

In response to the European Union's DMA (Digital Market's Act) Apple’s current Choice Screen design is flawed as they look at it very narrowly, per platform and country.

We think priority should be given to cross-platform browsers.

The main browser choices should be visible and we aren't. Quality matters and we should be on the list for all countries.

Find out more about what we think about the current state of affairs with Apple's Browser Choice Screen.

You know, as a Linux user, I can't unfortunately try Arc Browser, so I came up with this:

I see this post really does well. Here's my startpage setup in @vivaldibrowser / @Vivaldi :

People often tell me that there is a lot of browsers out there. In some ways it is true, but how many of those browsers are:

  1. Not made by an OS company?
  2. Not made by a search company?
  3. Not made by an ad company?
  4. Available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
  5. Has encrypted sync feature.

Can you name even 5?

That would give you the truly independent browsers.

I had a survey where I asked users on Mastodon which Vivaldi products and services they are using. This is the result:

83% Vivaldi on Windows, Mac & Linux.
65% Vivaldi on mobile
56% Vivaldi sync
39% Vivaldi Social (Mastodon)
13% Vivaldi Forums
9% Vivaldi Blogs
1% Vivaldi Automotive

11% used none of the Vivaldi products and services.

724 responded.

It is great to see how many are using Vivaldi across devices and sync. Vivaldi is one of the few browsers that offers browsers on all major OS and the only browser to do that and provide the browser in cars as well.

It is also great to see how many are using the different Vivaldi services. We are happy to provide ways for our community to engage and to support the Fediverse!

If you wonder what Vivaldi is, the best way to figure that out is to download it from vivaldi.com.

Does @Vivaldi not automatically insert passwords into websites from @protonprivacy on iOS?

In another shift, I have moved to @Vivaldi as my default browser across all my devices. Windows, macOS, iPadOS, and iPhone.

No more having to keep my bookmarks, etc. in sync.

At @Vivaldi we focus on the browser, but we also provide a few free services. What parts of Vivaldi are you using?

If you have not tried Vivaldi yet, a download at Vivaldi.com will get you started

What does our browser have in common with a bridesmaid?

👗 Why it’s her bridesmaid dress, of course! 😃

A 3-week online search for the perfect bridesmaid dress for her best friend’s wedding also turned into a search for a Chrome browser alternative.

Find out if our browser delivered and which one she finally settles on.👇

Hi all @Vivaldi users, does anyone know if I can hide the window bar?

My goal here is to have a video player that can be moved around but all the UI elements are gone. No scrollbar, window bar or anything.

Maybe there is something I can do within Linux options? But I think Vivaldi have their own window bar in place.,

I love the Notes feature in . Seriously, I use it all the time. Sometimes I just add quick notes in a panel. Sometimes I tile a full tab with another page so it's more of a full sized document. When I change computers or even fire up @Vivaldi on my phone, my notes are there. I can do formatting and even embed images. Seriously, it's hard to overstate how useful this feature is to me.

@mike@fosstodon.org avatar

@Dricc Yea, mobile isn't as full featured as its desktop version is, and there are quite a few features regarding Notes that I'd love to see go mobile. Widgets and Markdown rendering would be top of the list.

Just wanted to bring this to the community's attention: Giving two massive thumbs down to the browser as the experience for those of us using a is There's no seperation between the toolbar at the top, the main part of the window & the status bar at the bottom. Trying to use a shortcut to access the toolbar or even the address bar won't work as there's no keyboard shortcuts to do that with. Even accessing the menu is a hit or miss proposition for a screen reader user. Also, don't get me started on the focus jumping that goes on when you're navigating between pages, it's frustrating to say the least. Very that accessibility seems to be an afterthought for this browser. using this hot mess of a web browser until they bother to fix it, assuming they actually give a shit in the first place. Boost if possible, as I'd like to save others in the blind community from a poor experience.

Hab mir ein gebrauchtes Dell-Notebook von 2017 zugelegt, um damit zu "spielen".

Erst mal Windows zerstört, indem ich installiert habe, basiert auf .
Einfach, weil das Bedienkonzept so ganz anders ist und ich damit lernen will :)

Will aber auch noch weitere Distributionen drauf installieren.

Ziel soll dann sein, dass ich das MacBookPro wieder abstoße (das ich mir zugelegt hatte, weil ich darüber elektronische Musik machen wollte, wozu ich aber dann doch nicht so die Muse hatte - hm, vielleicht mal nochmal angehen, bevor ich es wegtue ...).
