    Why have I seen so much about Vivaldi on Lemmy recently.

    It has been quite long since I last heard that name, but recently it has been all over.

      I think its because its a not too bad on the privacy front chrome powered browser. It’s my, firefox is giving me issues, lets try another browser, browser and if firefox does die then its going to be the browser I use.

      I post the Blogposts here as they appear in my feed

      Maybe you can understand if I explain here my reasons for using Vivaldi as my main browser (I also have Mullvad, Otter and SSuite Netsurf on hand for testing reasons).

      • It is the only EU browser left, after the sadly death of the UR browser some years ago, that can take on the large US companies, which it also actively does.
      • No one is more focused on user needs offering more services and features than anyone else, avoiding the need to use third party ones.
      • It is not a company like others, it is a small cooperative owned by its employees, which also coincides with my political philosophy of what companies should be.
      • Despite using Blink, it is independent of Google or any other external investor, there is no Alphabet, googleanalytics or googletagmanager that can track the user, as Mozilla does due to its contract with Google (FF is a good privacy browser, but not so much with an account and sync with Mozilla, well, still better than others).

      There is no perfect browser that fits everyone’s needs, but I think it is worth promoting Vivaldi for the points mentioned.

        Yeah, I know. But I have seen a lot of Vivaldi stuff in random places on Lemmy recently and posts from this community haven’t popped up in my feed before.

    In my opinion, this is due to the fact that it is a Chrome-powered browser that is not too horrible in terms of privacy. It is my, Firefox is causing me problems; let’s try another browser, browser, and if Firefox does die, then that is going to be the browser that I use doodle jump.

    Wish they’d focus on it a bit more though. It’s still quite basic and has a number of oddities from being based on the email client. E

    Every update I see several changes for email/calendar, but only like 1 for the rss reader if we’re lucky
