move to Opera, but all I remember Op
for is being the laggy internet brow
for the Nintendo DSi, lol.

It was pretty decent on Symbian (old
Nokia smartphone OS).

have been using Vivaldi for several years, and I tend to like it.

I've been using Firefox for as long as I can remember, but I'm always interested in trying new (to me, anyway) stuff. You had mentioned this browser in the past and I briefly looked it up. But this time I took a longer glance at their website, and hadn't realized it has an email client built into it. I wonder if I could get used to that, whereas I'm currently using two separate programs (Firefox and Thunderbird).

I think I'm going to have to take a look at this. ;)

Oh yeah, the DSI moreso pushed MultiMedia stuff, from what I recall. I remember watching YouTube off the browser, lol. I didn't have a computer for the longest time growing up so that was what I used to watch YT other than the family PC, LOL.

I enabled Vivaldi's built-in email client, though honestly I haven't used it much.. I tend to use Gmail's web-based interface, and maybe I'm just used to that. I should probably try Vivaldi's built-in email client more. :)

From the screenshots I looked at on their site, it seems like it has everything Thunderird would have, except being able to setup NNTP accounts. I can probably overlook that hurdle since Thunderbird gives me the most hassles when it comes to NNTP. There's other clients that work much better in that aspect.

I agree firefox has been my favorite browser for some time
now.

After some issues with Opera (which I had used back when it was still shareware), I've switched over to Firefox myself.

i stopped using firefox because it as such a memory hog back in the day and they wouldn't take responsiblity for it. also they outed brendan eich orver dumb shit.
opera is a decent browser.

I stopped using Firefox for the same reasons. And used Opera for a couple of years. I found it really good! I am testing Brave right. Look faster, but not sure to stay on it.

brave uses chromium. its founder is Brendan Eich who had to resign from mozilla because he donated 1k to support a ban on same sex marriage in california.

i just want something that works well and doesn't have issues. for years firefox had issues and did nothing so i kicked it to the curb.

I recommend Brave!

Well you pointed it: yes, Brave is the only Browser able to kill all the ads!! Without exceptions. Even on Netflix or Prime Video. ;0) And this is a significant point!
