I like Vivaldi and they are going to keep V2 support for a while. I will switch to Firefox when it's gone, but for the time being I am happy they are keeping the support.

the number of forks says ff is next. the ad machine needs your money.

The ad machine doesn't need my money. They never even asked. I am the product to them.

I mean unless Mozilla starts getting sued by Ad companies to force them to ban ad blockers, I don't think that will happen because being able to have ad blockers is a major selling point.

But even if it does happen, Firefox is open source and has been forked, so the next alternative is LibreWolf.

I've been curious about Floorp. Are you using it as your daily driver? And pros and cons?

The biggest pro for me is the vertical tabs. It's got the same vertical tabs that Edge has which are great. I only use Edge at work but it's great especially when you have a web based production environment like nCino that you work in all day and have dozens of tabs open. You can group them up nicely and keep yourself organized. Floorp is based off of Firefox ESR so it's on an older build (but up to date security). The current build is based off FF 115 while FF is on 129 now.

Have you tried Tree Style Tab or Sidebery?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I've tried but for some reason, I can never get them set up correctly and I'm not technologically illiterate. Its been a while since I tried it though since Floorp just works.
