Firefox fork with features like the sidebar, vertical tabs, and more. It’s a vivaldi-like gecko browser, give it a shot.

Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 8 months agoVivaldi is what I use, and it’s absolutely the best Chromium browser I’ve ever tried.
That said, I’d switch to Firefox in a heartbeat if it could duplicate that sidebar. I use that thing all the time, and it’s the only thing keeping me on Chromium.

Oh, man, that’s exactly what I’ve been wanting. Already switched!

I just switched to floorp from firefox, it’s so nice to finally have another choice for a non-chromium browser with a reasonable number of plugins

Floorp is built on Firefox and was built in Japan and is a new browser with excellent privacy & flexibility.
There’s something really funny about that sentence. I think it’s because it reminds me of “remember Akira? That’s from Japan.”

it’s also absolutely proprietary, so no, thanks.

As A Vivaldi user since day one, I gave it up once I couldn’t take anymore of Googles/Chromium bull hockey. I’m just so done supporting a company like that. Firefox switch wasn’t easy, but after the first week I got used to it and I’m never going back to Chromium browser. Anyone can switch if you actually care enough.

Try it out. It’s a sidebar that allows you to put all kinds of websites and tools in small pop-out windows.
A less visually appealing, but much more powerful version of the opera chat sidebar.
I’ve tried to get something similar in Firefox, but nothing comes even close.
Built-in functions >>> addons any day of the week.

i fucking love vivaldi’s mouse gestures.
whenever i use firefox i end up constantly opening the inspector view like an absolute moron

…whut? (I haven’t had opera since the buyout)
Firipu@startrek.website 8 months ago
Yeah, no. I should have put some hyphen I guess.
Opera chat-tabs. Opera has a sidebar for chat clients (eg messenger, WhatsApp, telegram,…) built-in. It works really well and is prettier than the Vivaldi implementation. Still sticking with Vivaldi though

Before the buyout, I think you could use it as an AIM/ICQ client.

It’s a thin, persistent bar on the left side of the page with tools and shortcuts. By default, it’s where you find bookmarks, history, downloads and things like that, but you can also add custom websites to it as well. They pop out either over or alongside the main window (depending on whether the pin button is pressed), and they display the mobile webpage when available, to be more usable in such a small window. It’s how I use Discord and Mastodon.
