@diraquel @point5a @Vivaldi I’m familiar with Firefox fans, and I should add it to my list of search engines, including the #DuckDuckGo #iPhone #app. #VivaldiBrowser is ideal for power users who want heavy customization, built-in tools like #VivaldiMail and #RSS, and #ChromiumBased performance. It’s feature-rich but can feel overwhelming for casual users.
#Firefox prioritizes #privacy, #pensource #transparency, and #independence with its own #browser. It’s a leaner option with strong #BrowserSecurity features and great for those who value user-first design.
Choose Vivaldi for advanced features, or Firefox for privacy and open-source support!

CW: Seeking suggestions for a #browser to move to
I think it's time to change browser.
I won't use #GoogleChrome or #MicrosoftEdge, because because I regard both of those companies as toxic and dangerous for the open internet.
I am currently using a #Chromium-based browser, but recent news and revelations of the vendor's behaviour -- installing s/w without the knowledge or consent of the user -- makes me a little wary[1].
I am looking for a web browser that ...
- ... is available under a #FreeSoftware (or #OpenSource if you insist) licence,
- ... seeks, at least a little bit, to protect my #privacy,
- ... will render modern web pages and sites (i.e. is itself up-to-date and is actively maintained)
- ... will available for Linux
I'm happy to support such a project with regular donations, so it's not that I'm looking for a free-as-in-beer browser. I'm also happy for it to be either chromium-based or firefox-based (or based on some other engine I'm not aware of!).Can you suggest something? Thanks.
[1] There's also the question of the social/political views of the head of the vendor, which has always made be uncomfortable. You know now it's a problem for me, so please don't @ me about thatt.

While CVE-2023-4863 #vulnerability came to light in a context of #chromiumbased browsers, this vulnerability also affects many other things making use of #libwebp - many of these systems being less protected than a web browser.

@voxel Using a #chromiumbased #browser strengthens #google's #monopol further. I wouldn' use a chromium based browser for that reason. The only #chromium based browser i use is #vanadium on #grapheneos.

@malwaretech
So we should tell people so #UninstallChrome as soon as possible, switching to other #browsers. I mainly suggest #Firefox.
Can we really suggest #chromiumbased #browsers?
