I’ve been messing around with the Vivaldi browser today. It’s quite good! A new version was just released and it has nearly all the features (by way of extensions) the Firefox devs claim are “impossible” but that FF very much used to have. Such as the ability to change the order and presence of context menu items:

Somehow, the FF devs have convinced themselves that if you let someone customize this that dear ol’ Gramma is going to immediately wire all her money to Nigeria. Which is fucking insane, but they are right clowns.

Of course, they don’t care about Gramma. They are about power. They also despise their user base.

Vivaldi — an organization with far fewer financial and other resources than Mozilla — has managed to create a browser with 100x the customizability of Firefox. That’s all you need to know to determine Mozilla is full of shit and the Firefox devs are crap.

Will I switch? Perhaps. I have very hard-won workflows and custom extensions/tweaks in Firefox that will be difficult to get working anywhere else. But I’m considering it.
