just curious what browsers ppl use
-
@edieto Only Vivaldi. However, I installed Opera, Firefox and Chromium browser for checking, when there is an issue.
I.e.: Yesterday an embedded video wasn't visible in Vivaldi, but in Opera. I found out that I had to deactivate the addon
PrivacyBadger
for that website. -
Default = Vivaldi — for testing Vivaldi and Firefox.
-
Vivaldi stable the only one in use since 7 years, for test reasons the following with different engines:
Firefox (Gecko)
Otter (Qt5) (Extremly fast, many options from old Opera 12, FOSS. inbuild adblocker. Negative: few options to customize the UI)
SSuite Netsurfer (WebView2) (Very fast, good privacy, nice UI, inbuild the SSuite. Negative point: it don't permit to change the default search engine Groot search, on the other hand not a bad search with own index and without tracking nor ads, like Otter, no extensions, Windows only)
Otter and Netsurf also working in old Windows versions 32 and 64 bits) -
I really only use Vivaldi (and Snapshot).
I have Brave as a secondary but so rarely touch it. -
On desktop, I try to stick to Vivaldi as much as possible, unless I really can't install it.
On iPad and iPhone, I mostly use Safari, i've been trying to switch to Brave for a while too. Thought I've been using the iOS version of Vivaldi on testflight and things have been working out well so far
-
On the desktop I was using Firefox mostly. Now giving Vivaldi a shot. The same on mobile where I also sometimes use the DuckDuckGo Browser.
-
Vivaldi on desktop as my main browser since 2016, 2015 was split about evenly between Vivaldi, Firefox, and Opera 12.
I also keep Firefox installed as for some tasks the Gecko engine is noticeably more efficient than the Blink engine. CSS-heavy animations are the use case that comes to mind. Its ability to not autoplay videos is also quite useful on some sites.
On mobile (iOS), I use Firefox. I'd probably use Vivaldi if it were available, but it isn't, so Firefox is the next-best thing.
Opera 12 still has a place on my hard drive, but I don't use it that often anymore, Vivaldi has reached a place where it has equaled all of Opera Presto's functionality, and aside from checking the RSS feeds that I haven't migrated to Vivaldi, there's little reason for me to go back to Vivaldi's ancestor anymore.

@nokiafan808 VIvaldi for iOS is currently in beta.
-
Vivaldi for Linux (Arch) / Windows / Android. For desktops, laptops and mobile.
By the way, a poll would be easier to keep track

I was a Firefox user from version 1 to, I think, 89 or something. Then I switched to Vivaldi. But I started to use Firefox again for some social networks because of Firefox containers - I need many profiles, and the solution in Vivaldi is not ideal yet. But neither is the way Firefox handles it.
-
I am using brave these days. It's far better than ram sucking Chrome
-
I use Vivaldi and Firefox. Edge as part of Microsoft is on desktop.
-
Firefox, but already I am looking seriously at junking it in favor of Vivaldi. It seems so heavy and slow by comparison and, frankly, stodgy. And maybe it has a community, I actually don't know, but I'm starting to like it here.
-
It's an interesting question. Personally, I use the following:
Vivaldi
Firefox
Safari -

Firefox. Just one of those who continue to "dare to be different." I began with Netscape 3.0 and advanced all the way to NS 9 before switching over to Firebird and then Firefox (toyed briefly with the Mozilla suite and then SeaMonkey but the idea of a suite was of no interest to me once I got my hands on a browser only - Firefox).
-
I see that many folks here use various unpopular browsers. I wonder what made you choose them?
-
wonders idly to herself what this "vivaldi" thing is that some peeps seem to be mumbling about...
-
Vivaldi
Firefox
Chromium
Konqueror
Opera Presto
Lynx
First preferred browser, others for web dev tests.
