I mean, I like Firefox, but I’d love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There’s Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it’s more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi.

Edit: Thank y’all for your answers. :D

I want to link !@bdonvr@thelemmy.club 's post because it is a similar quesion. https://thelemmy.club/post/718914

    Once upon a time internet explorer dominated the web. The web bowed and catered to the jank that was internet explorer…at least until other browsers gained traction. To this day there are some websites that are only designed with internet explorer in mind.

      And I am convinced people didn’t think the same would happen when everything other than Firefox and Safari switched to being based on Chromium because “nah, it’s open-source, that won’t happen.”

      Well, here we are. The only thing keeping Chrome from completely dominating is that iOS currently requires all browsers to use WebKit, but once there is a real Chrome on iOS, you know every site is going to tell iPhone and iPad users to “lol just download Chrome.”

      This is not the situation I was hoping for, but I saw this coming years ago.

      It’s now been replaced by “no message, but sort of only works with Chromium”. As a full-time Firefox user I unfortunately see an increasing trend of “not working right with FF”

        As a web dev and firefox user, I really wish more devs tested in Firefox by default. Almost always if it works in FF it works in Chrome, but that’s very much not the case the other way around. I’ve never run into a situation where there’s not an easy pre-existing solution to any compatibility issues, but you’ll only know there’s a problem if you actually see it.
