-
Looking for a browser in 2020, you should be considering performance, security, and flexibility. But not only. Letβs take a look.

Most of us have chosen the right browser already.

-
Maybe voice-powered browsing coming to Vivaldi this year?
You forgot: choose a browser with built-in email.

All I want for next christmas is containers The only missing thing!

With the recent launch of 5G, things are about to heat up in browsing. This massive upgrade of network technology will affect first and foremost mobile browsing but itβs likely weβll also see laptops with embedded 5G modules.
uh-huh . Currently, I get 3G if I'm lucky.
Choose a smart browser
With billions of connected devices out there, the Internet of Things is quickly making its way into browsers.Noooo "Smart" tech is very often not smart at all. I hate that qualifier anywhere outside of sarcastic quotation marks.
Voice-based browsers are predicted to become mainstream within the next two years and you should consider this functionality if it makes sense for you.
This looks like it will be interesting. But I'll only be interested if it can be done entirely using on-board voice processing and not requiring a back-end server somewhere out of my control.
The Internet is guilty of enormous CO2 emissions.
Hmmm. I wonder how bad it would be if you treated "the internet" and cryptocurrency as separate groups.

"Choose a browser that syncs your data"
Maybe it should be "Choose a browser that syncs ALL your data".
Vivaldi does a good job with sync, but sadly does not sync: (1) custom search engines and (2) Web Panels. -
In 2019 alone, our small team has replied to thousands of tweets, forum comments and support emails.
Can confirm that, support from Vivaldi team was definitely awesome in 2019!

Streaming consume much power on server side and thus generates CO2.
Every little stream you do, is tragic.
-
@Gwen-Dragon true, but at least with streaming there is a tangible use for the energy spent. I imagine it would be lower compared the waste output from producing and shipping cds and dvds.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I agree entirely with that. I would love to see more server farms use green energy.
-
@Gwen-Dragon maybe instead of pointless cookie warnings, the eu should have required companies to disclose poor environmental setups instead.
-
Good article, but now I don't know which browser suits it, let me think ...
-
- try every big and smaller name you ever encountered
- realize no big names provide the kind of power you used to have before chrome killed Opera and Firefox
- stick to Waterfox
-
Can a feature be added where you scroll through your search engines with a mouse wheel?
-
-
@yankovalski It can if you post your wish as Feature Request and get sufficient Upvotes.

If you are a user of Opera 12, then there is nothing to choose besides Vivaldi
I have been using Opera since 2005, but Opera is not the same product anymore, so three years ago I switched to Vivaldi.
Other browsers did not even consider. -

Other browsers did not even consider.In Android, Exodus show me 11 trackers in Opera browser, Vivaldi 0.

Other browsers did not even consider.I finally switched at home a few days ago. At work - I'm still using Opera 12 because nothing else has RSS.
My sysadmins probably think I'm crazy. I'm in an IT company, I'm in IT myself, and I'm still using O12 in 2020.
