Manifest V3, Google Chrome’s soon-to-be definitive basket of changes to the world of web browser extensions, has been framed by its authors as “a step in the direction of privacy, security, and performance.” But we think these changes are a raw deal for users. We’ve said that since Manifest V3 was...
Blacklight detected this website sending user data to Alphabet, the technology conglomerate that encompasses Google and associated companies like Nest. The Silicon Valley giant collects data from twice the number of websites as its closest competitor, Facebook. An Alphabet spokesperson told The Markup that internet users can go here if they want to opt out of the company showing them targeted ads based on their browsing history.

You like or not, Mozilla make money with surveillance advertising, that is, with the user data.
You only can oopt out from Alphabet request it in this same company which already has your data, but you are still tracked by Nest and by Google itself, as they say for “product improvement”, Vivaldi ask the community and the user to do this, voting new features, there is nothing tracking you and selling your data., not even googleanaylytics.
That is the difference betwen a US soft and a European soft.
Vivaldi make money with sponsored links and search engines, which include by default, but which the user can delete without problems if he don’t use or wan’t these. Apart with a little merchandising store.
You can sync in the own Vivaldi server, encrypted end to end, Vivaldi itself can’t access to your data, not even can restore data and password, if you lost your password.
In the beginning also Firefox was centered in the needs of the user, but nowaday it makes decisions in own interests, that is the reason because a lot of users leaved this browser and even the Linux communities pass more and more to Vivaldi, there are already two distros that include Vivaldi as the default browser, FerenOS and Manjaro, others will follow, if Firefox does not return to its roots.
More will follow, especially if Mozilla continues to develop Firefox against the interests of users, much of the majority distros already include Vivaldi as an alternative in the repositories.
You look at it as like, Vivaldi is the best alternative to Firefox, in view of the others on the network.
Brave? well, is a good browser, but for it’s incoming it has a reward system, that is, it stops blocking trackers of its sponsors, including Facebook.
Opera? the worst of all, Chinese companies and privacy is a oximoron.
Some fork of Firefox? alll the conect to Mozilla, apart most are outdated or not very stable.
Cent Browser? very customizable, but somthing disatended and outdated
UR? The french browser may be a good privacy oriented browser, better than Brave, but it’s something outdated and closed source as Chrome itself
Some minority browsers with other engine than Blink, Gecko or WebKit’ I use Otter and Pale Moon, but only for test reasons, because they lacks of some incompatibilities.
KDE tried it with browsers with WebKit and Qt engines, like Falcon or QupZilla, but without a big result.
Min Browser, very fast and lightweight, maybe good for old PC with few resources, but lacks of any settings posibilities, it’s a window with search engine (DDG) and little more.
There are also some other browsers for enterprise use, with own engines, but paid and closed source.
Maybe Beaker Browser can be used as second (experimental P2P browser), with interestings features, but very special, good for webmasters.
Some text based browsers, like Lynx? Maybe only usefull for some tasks
A lot of others discontinued, like the Tri-engine Avant and more than 70 others.
All of these i’ve tested, also Firefox, and I know why I say that Vivaldi currently is the only alternative.

small reminder that only one of the many community editions of Manjaro has done so, no need to be disingenuous
