You know you can check what a software is before you download it, right?

Yeah I wish Vivaldi wasnā€™t Chromium-based, because I love all the bells and whistles of Vivaldi so much. But like, at the end of the day itā€™s still partly contributing to the Chromium dominance of the web, so I still have to default to Firefox as my primary.

Sentiment shared.

I went from Firefox, to Chrome (came as default, didnā€™t swap because browser was fine), to Vivaldi which was really neat when I started learning Chrome was going to become suck, then back to good old Firefox when I learned that Vivaldi is Chromium.

Same sentiment here. Coming from Opera (in the days it had its own engine) and having been using Vivaldi as my daily since its first public preview, native mouse gestures is the thing I miss the most from Firefox.

I know that the folks at Vivaldi are pretty strongly against the manifest v3 thing, but seems like at one point theyā€™ll have to fold.

100% Vivaldi is my favorite browser, I only use it as backup though because Iā€™m not using Chromium if I can help it

Why will people use literally anything but Firefox?

Edit: good points.

Because Google has made significant contributions to Mozilla

Because Firefox isnā€™t perfect either, to say the least. It has problems, which it had for many years and itā€™s just counting.

Itā€™s a shame the web got so complex that it has become unfeasible to make a browser engine anywhere near full compliance for anyone that isnā€™t a large company.

Thereā€™s no ā€œfull complianceā€. Thereā€™s a set of a hundred or so features and everey major browser supports the most important +/- a few dotzend.

And Iā€™ve literally heard people say they view Chromium as a reference implementation of the living standard. šŸ˜­

Chromium is to the modern internet what Internet Explorer was in the mid 2000s. Itā€™s not as stagnant (thankfully), but as far as market share and giving one oversized tech giant arguably too much power over the internet, weā€™ve basically come full circle.
