Not fully open source but works well, has desktop sync and a good tablet UI which is my biggest reason for not using FF. I only have a tablet and a phone and until FF creates a viable tablet UI I'm staying away. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sir_reginald@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Vivaldi is not a "privacy" experience. It sure has some comfy features, but Vivaldi is not private.
