Everyone talks about Firefox. And that's cause Firefox is good and hands down the best. But I've been using Vivaldi which is chromium based for years. Anyone have any opinion on Vivaldi?

Vivaldi is based on Chromium. So it basically gets placed in the same field as Chrome and Edge.

Glad I switched to firefox when it became apparent google wants to take away control to shove more ads in our faces.

Fun fact, 86% of the revenue for these big tech (Twitter/Meta/Google/YT) are from ads. 😀

Funner fact, social media apps collect more data than anybody else.

Because that's totally what every 15 year old fellow really needs hey Google?

I thought they did already.

Someone needs to make an extension that googles random stuff all the time and floods ones history with so much background noise that the history becomes useless.
