    while i don’t use them as my main browser it feels vivaldi is one of the few ones who at least tries something new. who isn’t just trying to emulate chrome with a few quality of life ones. i remember them introducing tiled tabs, stacked tabs, the tab bar on the sides or the bottom, way before i’ve seen any other browser do that? might not have been the first with all of those but at least firefox, chrome and edge didn’t have that as an option back then

      Tab management on Vivaldi is second to none. I pray every day that they swap to a Firefox backend one day, would be the best browser by a mile

        That’s why I still use them as my main. I can’t close tabs, so between their workspaces with tiled tabs and tab memory management not keeping 200 processes open (I know!) it’s been amazing for me. My only reservation is it being chromium.

        What makes firefox’s backend better? I’ve been considering switching from it lately.

            Basically this.

            Any browser that leverages Google’s Chromium project is enabling Google to continue to drive the web. Alternative browsers, first and foremost, must not be built using Chromium.

          Not that Firefox’s back end is better rather that every other browser out there is some form of chromium which means Google getting to control the internet.
