Yeah I wish Vivaldi wasn't Chromium-based, because I love all the bells and whistles of Vivaldi so much. But like, at the end of the day it'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, didn’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 they'll have to fold.
I miss old Opera. I want it back
100% Vivaldi is my favorite browser, I only use it as backup though because I'm not using Chromium if I can help it
Exactly my sentiment
I have high hopes for ladybird
~~Why will people use literally anything but Firefox?~~
Edit: good points.
Because Google has made significant contributions to Mozilla
Because Firefox isn't perfect either, to say the least. It has problems, which it had for many years and it's just counting.
It'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 isn't a large company.
There's no "full compliance". There's a set of a hundred or so features and everey major browser supports the most important +/- a few dotzend.
And I've literally heard people say they view Chromium as a reference implementation of the living standard. 😭
Chromium is to the modern internet what Internet Explorer was in the mid 2000s. It's not as stagnant (thankfully), but as far as market share and giving one oversized tech giant arguably too much power over the internet, we've basically come full circle.
pro tip: to link to a youtube video at a specific timestamp, you can either right click the video and Copy Video URL At Current Time or add the timestamp to the URL parameters. e.g. if you want to link to the youtube video https://youtube.com/watch?v=ThiSPArt at the time 1 minute 23 seconds, you can either link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THiSPArt&t=1m23s or https://youtu.be/THiSPArt?t=1m23s
here's a link to that same video with the timestamp built in
