Browser Wars

That’s only mildly frustrating.

I’m very happy my company allows me to run Linux on my work machine.

I like Vivaldi. Been using it for about a year now.

Not sure if it’s valid, but I feel more secure using unpopular browsers… staying a little off the beaten path.

Since it’s just Chromium underneath there’s not really a security advantage I guess, could be wrong though.

Okay well this Browser is ZIPPY compared to what was before

Been using vivaldi for a month and everything works great with it! The only problem I’ve run into is that I cant watch Amazon prime videos on it

Just a fair warning – FF Quantum imported MOST of my privacy settings and applications, but some were defaulted back to factory (ie, send ff information about krashes,etc, search engine settings and cache limit)

Seems obvious, but I would suggest anyone review their synced settings when switching over.

Mh that’s weird… I don’t have prime, but Netflix and Sky Go works just fine :confused:

Yeah Netflix works great for me too, Crunchyroll didn’t for a while but I fixed that issue.

Anyone still use elinks?

The official Debian SID repo now has FF57. Noticable difference for sure. I don’t use chrome except on Android.

I have been running nightly at work but I have a Core2 Duo two core, two thread laptop that I am still running on. Everything is slow on that POS, but chrome has been noticably worse.

Not really.

If I’m just installing Gentoo and need to get my hands on a stage3 tarball, then yes, but other than that, nope.

I just noticed this, but for anyone who wants and/or is in need of this feature… Vivaldi Sync is now in the Snapshot builds for testing:

Hi, I’m using Chrome. But I do not like news, such as this information: https://soft2secure.com/knowledgebase/chromesearch-win
I’m no longer confident :thinking:

That has nothing to do with Chrome except the name tho x_X

I’ve been using Firefox 57 for a good two weeks now on my linux machine and it’s looking quite good, no obvious issues so far. I still prefer chromium but at least for the first time in many years firefox is a viable alternative.
