I am tempted to start using the @Vivaldi browser but then I looked* at the diversity in the underlying technology and I think it is better to promote and start using @firefox :firefox: more.

Or should we leave it to #Google :omya_google: and #Apple :apple_inc: only❓

I’m curious 😅 @Vivaldi why not use SpiderMonkey and Gecko❓

    Firefox + uBlock Origin is the only thing that makes mobile browsing tolerable. Ads are so bad, and web design so poor, that even if you’re someone who is usually ok with advertising you’ll often find that sites are literally broken if you allow them to render.

      You can use Cromite (Bromite fork) or Kiwi Browser as well if you’re on Android

        I believe those are both Chromium, right? I’m suspicious that when manifest v2 support ends in Chromium it will kill ad blockers across the Chromium market.

          Cromite uses some built-in adblocker based off ABP and doesn’t have extensions

          I doubt specific type of extensions will be killed in Chromium. Even uBlock Origin exists as a Lite version with no possibility of configuration, but allows proper adblocking.

          Western corporations are testing how far they can get away with advertising, spying and other dirty things, and there is going to be very soon, probably in the next 5ish years, when we see a breaking point for masses globally.
