What is your favorite browser? Feel free to share why.
@jon Firefox because of its tweaks. I admire what Vivaldi has achieved, but Firefox can achieve almost the same with extensions. The only thing missing in Firefox are native tab groups, but they are a work in progress according to their site.
If Firefox vanished tomorrow, I would quite likely use Vivaldi. I was an Opera user in the old days. Vivaldi is the only browser that follows that spirit today.
Thanks for your kind words. Did you try Workspaces in Vivaldi as well? Quick commands? The searchable Window panel?
@jon Yes, I did. I'm not fan of Workspaces, but I get the idea. Quick comands, not yet; the searchable windows not either.
I do not tend to have so many tabs open at the same time, I guess.
@jon OK, I tried them. They are nice to have, but for users who manage many tabs at the same time. It is not my case.
One thing I like a lot about Firefox is the about:config page. My main change is content.notify.backoffcount > 0. It stops the browser partial refreshes, and shows a web page only when its parts finished loading. In my experience, it makes the browsing faster and more comfortable for my eyes.
It could be a nice switch to have in Vivaldi too.
@jon (Although Chromium-based browsers' main selling point is speed.)
Firefox does not have tab groups or workspaces (yet?) but you can mimic the experience with Sidebery.
