I am tempted to start using the [@Vivaldi](https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi) browser but then I looked\* at the diversity in the underlying technology and I think it is better to promote and start
  • @Vivaldi @firefox Thinking to give Librewolf a try. https://librewolf.net/

    have too many browser installed already 😂

    FYI https://privacytests.org/ gives a good browser privacy comparison. No affiliation and don't know how correct the data is.

    Some more info on browsers https://www.privacytools.io/private-browser 😅

  • @SergoZar @Senshiro @Vivaldi @firefox@lemmy.ml @Firefox@mstdn.social @brave thx, had a quick look and yes there are concerns regarding #Brave but compared to others it appears to have a leg up 😅. Have to research some more but if privacy is the main goal then Librewolf looks to be a very good choice.

  • @mr_kumar @Vivaldi @firefox thx, I will have a look at Librewolf.

    We should not forget that it takes a lot of effort to maintain your own independent browser engine. @firefox might be the Linux (kernel) of browser world 😅. Kudos to #Firefox.

    Statcounter has different stats, with #Firefox at 0.53% so that would make it even less and on the desktop it is probably not much better.

    Do we need/want an alternative browser engine❓ If the anser is yes then we probably need to use :firefox: at bit more.

    #Webdev is focused on Safari and Chrome as that is what the vast majority uses.

    Having only 2 to worry about is making testing easier. 😅

    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❓
