    not to mention just shitty to use.

    Come back to me when Firefox has workspaces, tab stacking, a side panel, and the rest of the aesthetic customization of Vivaldi.

    You’re a fanboy, clearly, but you haven’t actually argued why Firefox is better, just that you like it more because you’re seething at chromium.

    Firefox lost because it used to be shitty and everyone just assumed it still is, whoops. Better luck next time. When Vivaldi stops blocking ads natively without an installed ad blocker (still haven’t noticed any YouTube ads post V3) I’ll consider switching. Until then, this “bUt cHrOmiUm” shit is just a joke.

      None of that is chromium. Vivaldi could have built that on top of Firefox, but didn’t. As to why Firefox is better, the very fact that it’s an alternative that is keeping up technically is a benefit. It’s less a ‘V-shaped engine’ monopoly and moreso a ‘V8 engine made by a specific company’ monopoly. They have far too much control over the direction of web standards. Much of what they are doing is actually good, but it should then be spread based on merit, rather than because they directly control almost the entire market.
