Dear Vivaldi users, get ready to be fu¢ked.

In the spirit of keeping Vivaldi free for all our users, we are trying out some changes to the way our tracker blocker works. These changes relate to ways in which our tracker blocker was affecting our partnership with search engines in unexpected ways.

So what remains? Firefox or one of its forks? I've tried Pale Moon for a while, didn't really fit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Zen browser. It is basically Arc on the Firefox engine. Still in alpha though I've been daily driving it.

I don't think Firefox is a valid option anymore, you can see why in more detail here.

Like I said I'm sticking with Vivaldi until their stop supporting uBlock Origin after than the only real options left are various Firefox forks. Because even if something like Ladybird develops into something good, it will take a long time until community development catches up to bring us all the quality of life stuff we are used to.

My biggest issue with Ladybird is that I will have to switch to Linux. I know Windows sucks and everything but the way I use my pc I need Windows. It has excellent audio processing support, drivers that just work, gaming is a lot more complete especially since I have an Nvidia GPU but the most important one is I have the HP G2 which uses Windows Mixed Reality.

If Vivaldi's ad blocker does somehow stop functioning and they will become just another chronium browser, I'll just try to install AdGuard on my Linux server again but it's difficult if you use Docker and Nginx.

I thought they are planning on supporting all the major operating systems.

It's just building on Windows is stupid, since it requires WSL 2. And they don't provide any pre-built binaries in this pre-alpha state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They say there are no plans to develop for Windows at this time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That makes it useless to be honest. Whether people like Windows or not, it still makes up 68% of the operating systems market share.

Another project dead before it even launched.
