Thanks to the suggestions by friends on Discord and especially here on Hexbear, I have decided to switch from Vivaldi to Firefox.

Vivaldi is a good browser, don't get me wrong, but I do feel Firefox is better and I can always use another New Tab page, I suppose, through extensions that are meant for Firefox, a New Tab page with more than 4 rows of Quick Links.

Thanks, everyone.

Sticking with Vivaldi myself, the tab stacking (grouping) and the ability to open new tabs automatically in a stack has been helpful for me to group browsing sessions together.

Not sure about how Vivaldi works but Firefox has the "tree style tabs" extension for displaying your tabs vertically

Yeah I use this extension on Firefox as well and it’s really helps with organizing large tab groups. Coupled with some custom config changes to hide the tabs from the title bar, it’s a good workflow.

I used Vivaldi for a little bit just to see what the fuss was about. My main issue is that I’m sick of chromium based browsers. The other issue was how cluttered and overburdened the whole experience felt. Personally I wanna use my browser to browse, I don’t need mail, rss, chat, VPN, etc… all built in. I have separate standalone apps and web front ends for all that stuff that I will access via my browser.

To each their own tho.

Honestly, yeah. The built in ui for calendar, mail and rss reader sucks, but I do like the edge panel. Great for quickly checking something / getting something with a copy & paste without having to align a new window.

I think the only other alternative to this is Opera GX, but you know, it's opera. Though I wouldn't fault Vivaldi for doing the same too.

Aah, Opera. I used to feel so cool for the year or so I used that in the 2000s. It easily cleared the low bar of being better than IE.
