I know we aren’t allowed to use Chrome. We can’t use Brave. But how does the Lemmy community feel about the Vivaldi Browser? or is it still not Firefox…
We’ve decided you’re only allowed to browse the web with Lynx from now on.
How about Vivaldi Browser?

Vivaldi is pretty good. Henry from Techlore seems to like it. Also, while it is proprietary, the source code is available to view, audit, and compile.

It’s chromium but has a special place in my heart because it’s made by the og Opera people, when Opera used its own engine. I still use Firefox but if I ever switched it would probably be to Vivaldi.

It’s top on my list of Chromium browsers

You can use whatever you want, tbh, you’ll just be judged. What browser is best really depends on what’s important for you.
In terms of features and functionality, Vivaldi is on a league of it’s own. No other mainstream browser can compete. Edge from Microsoft takes the second place (no, really). Everything else is far behind on third place. (I don’t know about opera though, haven’t seen it in a decade)
In terms of privacy, the picture is very different. Also depends on what you consider to be an invasion of privacy (is phoning-home bad? Is telemetry bad? Is allowing cookies bad?) some browsers do one, others do others. If everything is bad, then Firefox is the king here.
If you don’t care about any of that and wants something that just works, maybe safari I guess?
Any recommendation you get here will usually take in account what the recommenders’ think is important but your opinion might be different.
Ps: Chromium bases browsers don’t necessarily pack in everything that Google does. Most of them are actually forks that still get to have a say in what they do or don’t.
