@NewNewAugustEast @kadup @Vivaldi I am definitely going to be called a chill, but I truly and honestly love the thing I'm going to talk about, I'm not just "blowing steam"If you want a great, User-Configurable browser without any AI garbage, give Vivaldi a tryHere is the CEO giving a clear stance against generative AIvivaldi.com/blog/keep-explorinAnd here is a more general explanation of what and how they as a company is working towards a better future for the webvivaldi.com/for-a-better-web/My own experience with the browser is that it feels like what people expect Firefox to still be:A User-focused, configurable and customizable, feature-rich web-browser that puts the user first and foremost.Want the tabs at the bottom?That's a setting.Using Vivaldi on Linux in a Window-manager with server-side(or no) decorations? Don't worry, that's in the Settings.Want a keybinding that opens a predetermined set of tabs?That's possible with a command chain. Want to set alt+tab to cycle tabs? The keybinding page in the Settings is one of the best I've ever used with the ability to bind multiple keybindings to the same action (or multiple actions using command chains) And as if that wasn't enough, the CEO spends some of his time on Mastodon, and has answered questions directed to the Vivaldi accountOK, I'm a fanboy.

    Vivaldi is probably the only Chromium based browser I would consider. It is my alternative when I am not using Firefox. Yeah it is pretty good.

    I will say, like I mentioned about Firefox, if you scroll down in the comments you will find people saying Vivaldi will fade to obscurity without implementing some kind of AI.

    Frankly I appreciate Vivaldi's stance: it isn't ready yet, too many issues and problems to add agents into our ecosystem.

    By the way Vivaldi is like a swiss knife: you can take notes, email, calendar, tasks, so much stuff! On the other hand it often chokes on updates and the sync is less then perfect.
