    @jon@vivaldi.net I have no favourite browser anymore since Opera 12. I don’t want to support the Chromium dominance but Firefox still feels clunky. I have some sympathy for the Zen browser project. And then there’s Vivaldi, with a lot of stuff I appreciated when I was still using Opera. But … Chromium, you know 🤷.

        @jon@vivaldi.net I already use Vivaldi since a botched Chromium browser update about a year ago. It’s just a little bit sad that there’s neither a lot of choice nor something like Chromium project but on a Gecko basis.

          I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.

          At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.

          Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.
