Hi everyone, with the whole Firefox ToS change and it’s fingerprinting I asked on mastodon if anyone could recommend a web browser alternative to Firefox and was recommend to go with Vivaldi due to their no fingerprinting, and allowing unlock to still work even though it uses manifest v3.
I am already switching to librefox on windows, and fence on android.
But I wanted to ask if the claims for vivaldi where true?
I’ve tried out most of the popular browsers:
- Arc
- Firefox
- Librewolf
- Brave
I keep coming back to Vivaldi. Here are a few reasons why:
- Built-in Workspaces (Way better than tab groups)
- Customization (which I absolutely love)
I use Zen browser as backup. Firefox-based browsers always seem to have something broken, so it’s good to have a chromium-based browser.
I really like Brave for privacy reasons, but it lacks some of my most used features like workspace and split-view.
I know Vivaldi looks a bit overwhelming at first, but you can disable almost everything you don’t need.
So, what I’m reading here is that tab groups are better than privacy.
You want to switch from a free and open source browser to a proprietary browser and think this will improve your privacy?
I’m not, please read my post. I’m just asking a question

you can’t use uBlock with Vivaldi
Yes you can. I have it installed and it’s running fine.
It works just fine actually, the full (non-lite) version. For how long is still a question but the Vivaldi devs are keeping manifest v2 support alive for now.
That’s what I was assuming, but wanted to confirm. Thanks
