The Mozilla browser became completely useless through that, so I decided to change over to Vivaldi, deleting the Firefox. So long, and thanks for all the shoes.

Vivaldi

What are the selling points for you? Are they SJW scum like Mozilla?

I'm not interested in anything like that. Vivaldi just offers a wide range of individual customization options, which is very important for me. In addition, most add-ons from the Chrome Store also run with Vivaldi.

One of their most outspoken people is this: https://twitter.com/GwenDragonTek

Who obviously ticks all of the SJW boxes.

But... he/she(?) mostly argued against banning Dissenter: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/36490/firefox-and-chrome-banned-dissenter?page=1

So YMMW.

I'm not using Vivaldi for mostly two reasons:

1) It's not FOSS. 2) It doesn't seem finished. Every other version there's a new bug (like extensions not opening when you click on then, fullscreen mode not working, etc. mostly UI stuff) that breaks my workflow.

It doesn't behave like FF and it's less responsive. I'm pretty sure it consumes more CPU while idling than FF.
