Hi everyone, with the whole Firefox ToS change and it’s fingerprinting I asked on mastodon if anyone could recommend a web browser alternative to Firefox and was recommend to go with Vivaldi due to their no fingerprinting, and allowing unlock to still work even though it uses manifest v3.
I am already switching to librefox on windows, and fence on android.
But I wanted to ask if the claims for vivaldi where true?

I’ve tried out most of the popular browsers:
I keep coming back to Vivaldi. Here are a few reasons why:
I use Zen browser as backup. Firefox-based browsers always seem to have something broken, so it’s good to have a chromium-based browser.
I really like Brave for privacy reasons, but it lacks some of my most used features like workspace and split-view.
I know Vivaldi looks a bit overwhelming at first, but you can disable almost everything you don’t need.

So, what I’m reading here is that tab groups are better than privacy.
