Vivaldis not bad. Good for work where you need different profiles; not crazy resource intensive

Yeah, it's a good Chromium browser. I used it for a few years before switching to Firefox browsers. If you have to use Chromium, I'd recommend it. If you can though Firefox has been far more enjoyable (I'm using Zen currently).

I'm on librewolf just now having used vivaldi for about three years as my daily. Great browser, I just fancied swapping the chromium problems for gecko problems for a while :D

And for people like me with a problem closing tabs, the memory management is excellent, killing off anything that hasn't been used in a while.

You can do that in Firefox too tbf

So what you're saying is there are two good alternatives out there now?!

[–] sage@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

No, there is only Firefox.

It's my secondary browser. Pretty much just for HDR on YouTube. Firefox still can't do it.

It's good for work when a woork-related website won't accept a Gecko-based browser.

Idk about not resource intensive but it does browser things happily.
