They're working at it to be more functional, its OK right now but they have even a smaller team than Vivaldi to fix things, at least someone is trying something different with the firefox base. HTH

bolded textNow using Netsurfer Prometheus Web Browser
This one is more updated for Win11 O/S. Added U Block Origin lite (mv3)? , I think thats the manifest 3??? to it , Installed it instead of the basic Ad blocker it has, this works so much better blocking ads and trackers on streaming sites, like I read in other comments posted in this forum. Now I can run Vivaldi on one screen with its built in ad blocker and U Block Origin Lite on Prometheus on another screen side by side to compare what each one does on websites. I think thats a good way to test it out. So use to using Vivaldi 😍 that other browsers seem quirky to use... 🤷🏻♂ HTH

@lukcy13820 Totally agree. I'm constantly switching back and forth to and from vivaldi from arc. I really love auto-pip and looks like I can't live without it.

@200dollars, I use also the Zen Browser as second (Firefox fork), no problems importing Bookmarks and passwords, naturally no other things.

Hello, long time no see! It's been quite a while, and during that time I've managed to release several versions. Just yesterday, I released version 1.4, and it seems that my Second Sidebar for Firefox now provides more features than the sidebar in Vivaldi 😅. Prove me wrong!

Vivaldi is still the most useful. Opera, Maxthon, Edge are trying to be Vivaldi but it doesn't work. Opera is getting Maxthon in appearance(This is my feeling). Firefox hasn't added any features in a long time and after the last incident it stopped being my second browser. Librewolf my second now. Many people talk about Brave, but it doesn't seem like a browser to be overrated. Tor is secure but slowww. Chrome, Yandex? No thanks. 🙂 I have tried many alternative browsers(Slimjet, Waterfox,Palemoon, Zen, Floorp...) but they don't replace Vivaldi. Because Vivaldi has been providing us with many features that are useful to us for a long time and no browser seems useful because we are used to using it. 😃

@Himmelssheriff57 said in Opera v Vivaldi:

Otherwise you may doubt if there's worth in incorporating an AI chatbot into a browser. But I've been using it for translations and summarizing. And I think, it did surprisingly well.

I have it as default on my phone and use the convenient Aria AI quite a bit, as I read and share a lot of articles and an on-the-fly summary of TLDR's can be useful for myself and some people I share with.

The other reason is its good reader view implementation.

It was default on my desktop before switching to Vivaldi. I still dip in from time time to time.

Someone else pointed out here that the Chinese connection is not nearly as scary as it seems.

But, anyway, just in terms of overall features I find it OK. Though, on desktop, it did introduce a few usability regressions that caused me to switch to Vivaldi, which was my alternate at the time. A major one was there switch to a horizontal instead of a vertical tab cycler. That's brain-dead as far as I'm concerned. In fact, I switched from Firefox to Opera mainly because Opera had a well-implemented vertical tab cycler at the time! Then they abandoned it! 😞

@Dr-Flay That's interesting. I've never heard about it!
Gonna try it when I'll have time

@npro Two moderators, Leo seems to put in more hours than I do. And there is an Asian-language moderator whom I don't really know.

But the last couple of days we've been dealing with a really persistent spammer, and it has been a lot more work than usual. 😞

@mikeyb2001 , I brought some additional information:

Yandex Search: Planform for yandex ads - 60% of website space is advertising. SERP are being goverment-censored

fun fact: now they does't own even your own domain yandex.ru (redirect to some Gazprom media site)

Yandex Maps: Yet another ads platform, extorting money from business owners for colored pins

Yandex.Mail: A email service and ads platform (lol they use inline base64 images for banners), you must pay subscription for a more acceptable user experience

Yandex.Music: A music streaming service with illegal/pirated music

Yandex Browser: Yet another Google Chrome skin + Yandex Sovetnik acting more aggressively than the Honey extension (all small online store owners hate this) + russian Root CA SSL certificate (in simple terms is MITM-ready) + persistent Yandex telemetry

Alice: A virtual assistant similar to Siri or Alexa. Also this is smartsmart speakers, and dumb yandex develpers doesn't test firmware and make large DDOS and put down almost all russan NTP servers for three weeks

Yandex.Taxi: displaced Uber in a non-competitive way. And also ads platform, ofc
