@jpthuot03 @tchambers @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon Waterfox is great for legacy compatibility, especially if you need to run an old flash site. It lacks some modern features though.

I don't know enough to know enough, it would seem. I just looked at a list of 'best open source alternatives to Firefox" and picked the top one.

Sell me on Vivaldi, then, if you have a moment. Does it handle add-ons/extensions? I use Proton suite of everything, so the Pass extension would be most important.

I'm using Brave on my android now.

@maybit @jpthuot03 @mike @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon Not being 100 percent open source is not a show stopper for me -but supporting open web standards is a MUST - and they are super solid on that.

So, I was under the impression that all Chrome-based browsers still 'called home' to Google from time to time - is this true of Chromium based browsers as well? Does Vivaldi share any information with Google?

@jpthuot03 @mike @tchambers @stevetex @Vivaldi @jon it's a shame, but my search engine led me to reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/kkpb34/does_chromium_send_data_to_google/

In short Chromium (the browser) yes, but for other Chromium-based browsers, it might not be the case

Anyone any better source?

Yes, that's probably why it didn't show up as an option on the list I was looking at.
