@svenjacobs it's also a very good browser 😁 and I've grown to love the toolbar options... SO MANY TOOLBAR OPTIONS 😍
@konstantin @svenjacobs I still prefer #firefox :o

As much as I want to love #Vivaldi, its built-in ad blocker is not as effective as uBlock Origin, and I don't think I can run the full uBlock on it because it's a Chromium-based browser. What is the best supported alternative Firefox browser these days?
Mozilla: "We believe standing still while technology moves forward doesn’t benefit the web or humanity. That’s why we see it as our responsibility to shape how AI integrates into the web."
The current evidence points to generative AI largely *destroying* the web. Whose side are you on, Mozilla? #firefox

Yes #Mozilla, you do that. Continue to move in the #AI path. It's been nice knowing you and thank you for helping me to move forward with #vivaldi browser. Vivaldi apparently gets that browsers can move forward without kneeling to the AI slop. I hope Kit will save you but I won't be around to find out.
If your product doesn't use any AI at all,
you will be ahead of the curve.
And you should brag about it.
@Em0nM4stodon exactly the point of Vivaldi browser
good job, tusky devs
Installed #Vivaldi today (I had been using #Firefox for the past ... 20 years or so?) - First Impressions:
- it is really fast (definitely faster than FF)
- very easy to import bookmarks from Firefox (exported html)
- uBlock and Zotero connector work fine
- adding No AI DuckDuckGo was easy
- noAI :)
Bonus: link to their Mastodon server on the toolbar 😊
Might have problems later but for now I like it! Thanks @Vivaldi 🙌
@elduvelle @Vivaldi welcome friend. I haven't been using #Vivaldi for very long and also come from Firefox. I appreciate its non-AI stand, level of customization and tab management.
Some reasons why #Vivaldi browser is worth checking out: https://vivaldi.com/for-a-better-web/
Firefox is blocking web pages for bogus security issues -- "PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR" -- I wish Mozilla would spend more time making its browser work better and less time experimenting with "AI"
@dangillmor step over to #Vivaldi
The episode is related to some writing I’ve been doing over on Disconnect, including this article: https://disconnect.blog/getting-off-us-tech-a-guide/
