The 4-year challenge
-
Have been using IE first, than opera from 3.62 upward, and last year more and more vivaldi. you only need a good enough mobile browser with sync before i can drop all others
-
mmh.. I'm bad with dates.
- IE 3 (omg) > IE6
- Mozilla Suite 1.0 > 1.4
- A bit of old Opera (Probably 6, 9 and 10)
- Firefox 0.8 > 2.0 (I used FF for years but gecko became slow, sluggish and affected by UX madness).
- An year of Maxthon and a bit of Lunascape.
- Chrome until around 50? (Blink is a good engine, after all, its stock UI isn't).
- Vivaldi 1.0 Beta > Vivaldi Snapshot RC.
Sometimes I also test Brave and (chr)opera. But rarely opened, as the latest FF which is still there.
-
Opera 12 as the main browser until late 2016, when Vivaldi felt ready.

My Browser history:
Started with Netscape Navigator 6 or 7
Short time with Firefox
Opera from 5.x to 12.16 (still using 12.16 Mail client)
Now I am quite happy with Vivaldi (snapshot) on LinuxThank You very much for your efforts

Then - Opera (classic)
Now - Firefox (~50%), Vivaldi (~50%) -
4 years ago:
Today:
-
Internet Explorer 4;
Netscape Communicator from 4.5 to 4.7;
Opera from 6.0 to 12.18 (still using M2);
Vivaldi from TP1 to Vivaldi 2.3.1430.4.From 2013 to 2015 i tried various browsers including Firefox, Opera Blink, Iron, Otter but after a few minutes i was back to the real Opera.
In 2015 a love was born, the only one able to replace Opera 12.

OK, migrated slowly from Opera 12 to Vivaldi as it got more and more stable and surpassed Opera in site support, but still using Opera for email today...
-
Over the years I have used virtually all existing browsers. Some I liked and others less, but none of these satisfied me as much as Vivaldi with which I have been on since its first stable version, despite the many bugs and dead birds at the beginning.
Until today I have not regretted the decision to use it as my default browser. -
FF: → June 18
V: June 18 → -
4 years before Firefox
2015 to the present Vivaldi
-
The most customizable browser out there (install and tweak away).
Lie.
The browser that does not track you (our business is building the browser, not how you use it).
Truth, but that's hardly a concern, when every website does what you do not.
The browser with the most amazing community (350 000 strong to be more precise).
Does that help me browse internet? No. Irrelevant.
The browser that reflects what our users want (and not the agenda of investors pushing for profit).
Except two most demanded features, two icons of security that Opera 12 offered to their users, are yet to be implemented.
1/4.
Not the best score.Opera 12 is still my primary browser. Since 2006.
I only switch to Vivaldi, when the website absolutely don't want to work. -

But… but we are amazing /:
I can help you browse the internet, just ask! -
Started off with Chrome, moved on to Firefox (mostly to spare resources on my old machine), started using vivaldi thanks to a friend recommendation. default browser since that day. (I keep a bundle of other browsers for test purposes, but I use Vivaldi 99.998% of the time)

July 2014: Opera
From then until now, Firefox, but I'm watching Vivaldi closely.
