I daily drive Firefox, but more and more websites are starting to break without Chromium, so I still have to occasionally switch to get something working. I was using Ungoogled Chromium until I realized that there was no easy way to update it when that pixel-stealing exploit came out a while back.
To be clear, I’m not talking about stock “no settings changed” Vivaldi. With that requirement, even Firefox could be called invasive! What I want to know is if Vivaldi is relatively safe to use with all the telemetry and stuff disabled in the settings and using any necessary extensions.
Thanks!
Haven’t used it myself yet, but I’ve seen it recommended: the User Agent Switcher extension. It might fix some websites you have issues with?
That’s a good suggestion, but I’m talking about websites that actually break on Firefox, not just refuse to work. I can’t send messages to my doctor because the portal gives an XML parsing error on Firefox.
Make you substantially easier to fingerprint.
I used to use it and it can help. Particularly microsoft websites. It causes audio distortion on some sites though.
