What's your second choice Chromium option?
-
I just can't live with this bug anymore, it's driving me MAD, and it's been around for three years so it's time to move on. So what's your favorite Chromium based browser, other than Vivaldi? Opera kinda seems like the obvious choice, but I haven't used any of the other ones yet. Any suggestions, or favorites?

@bsubg For the past few years it's been 1 Opera 2 Vivaldi. However, I've just made Vivaldi 1 just to give it a go as default. No guarantee I will stick with that. Part of the reason for switching to 1 was a few things not working in Opera. E.g., AI Chat extensions, but also a few websites.
However, tbh, I find that no browser is superior to all others in every respect. Ditto search engines. So I switch between several depending on context.
But in terms of choosing an alternative to Vivaldi other than Opera it depends what features are important to you. For example, being able to navigate tabs in "most recently used" order is a must for me. Currently (as far as I'm aware) that leaves only Brave as an alternative. Internet Explorer used to have that feature but, so far, Edge does not (or if it does, I've not spotted it). Firefox has it and that was my default for years before Opera/Vivaldi.

Brave is not athrustworth browser for me, since I know that it financied extrem right wing, anti wax and antti gay¬trans organisations, pro Trump.
I use as backhand browsers FF, Otter and SSuite Netsurf. The 2 last, extrem fast browsers. But Vivaldi is my first and this won't change. Business ethics are very important for me.

My other chromium browser is Slimjet.

Brave. Used to be Slimjet, but support was nonexistent.

MS Edge reminds me of Vivaldi, for example, it has a sidebar. Edge is a pale shadow of Vivaldi, but it may be the next-best thing. But it's made by Microsoft, so not ideal in terms of privacy.

Yandex is the European equivalent of Google, and has its own browser named "Yandex Browser". But as I said, Yandex is Europe's Google: I doubt it's good in terms of privacy. Still, I'd trust Yandex a lot more than I'd trust Google!
-
Brave is made by the co-founder of Mozilla/Firefox, and is probably the best on this list in terms of privacy. But pricey aside, Brave is more akin to Chrome than to Firefox (let alone Vivaldi).
It's hard to recommend any one of those Chromium-based browsers over the other, as they all have different advantages and disadvantages.

Anyway, apart from Vivaldi, I use the other browsers only for testing purposes, to determine if a problem is due to Chromium in general or to other causes. For this reason I use the others because they have different motors.
As reference Chromium there is already Edge, then FF with Gecko, Otter with WebView2, as well as Netsurf. The latter for the practical inclusion of SSuite with all its utilities. -
