Because it’s privacy focused. Also because it’s not based on Chromium. It’s the only one keeping us from having a Google browser monopoly
Because it’s one of the last few browsers that’s usable and not based on Chrome/Chromium
Because it’s not actively trying to make ad-blockers not work like Chrome.
good balance of functionality and privacy. keeps my tabs synced between mobile and desktop. that’s…that’s about it.
- Open source
- Reasonably privacy respecting (could be better OOB)
- Extensions that further enhance privacy and remove unwanted annoyances from pages
- Cool logo
It’s a great OSS browser. There should be at least one alternative rendering engine to Googles Chromium.
Because I enjoy freedom and privacy
Because I like it, it ain’t Google and it looks great on my gnome desktop.
Coolest logo
I dislike Mozilla less than I dislike Google, but not much! Besides that, Firefox has more functionality.
Becuase the other browsers suck.
This was my excuse until recently. Now I enjoy Vivaldi. Turns out I need less extensions to enjoy this one! I’m so happy 😊
Vivaldi is chromium based and not fully open source. It doesn’t deserve any more trust than chrome/edge/safari/etc.
Oh, you’re right the UI code is closed source. Hate to admit it, but it kind of makes sense given it looks so nice 🙈
It’s just… always been my main browser.
Cuz the cute fox rolled up in a ball around the world. Oh and also because I would like to fuck Google with a bat.
As of August 2023, Google Chrome accounted for 66.41 percent of the global desktop internet browser market share. I’d rather not contribute to Google’s influence over the internet. They already have too much power, and profit off of harvesting and selling our data.
And a second point here: how much of the remaining 33,59% belongs to Chromium-based browsers? Those still contribute to Google’s monopoly over the web, so the final numbers are even worse.
