My current browser is DuckDuckGo because I like to use it to protect my privacy on the Web.

I heard word about Vivaldi being a popular browser for Fediverse users but I never tried it.

I’m not sure which one is necessarily better.

    None. Just use something like Librewolf on the computer and Mull on the phone. No need to use the browser of a search engine closely partnered with Bing. Vivaldi is chromium based, which means you will be supporting the monopoly of Google. Vivaldi is also not fully open source.

    Firefox and its derivatives are the only browsers that challenge Google’s monopoly on browser engines and prevent them from making unilateral changes to all web browsers based on them, including Vivaldi. DuckDuckGo is a good search engine though.

      Duck gets results from bing. I honestly had to switch to Searx. Can’t stand not finding stuff anymore

        Why do people always say they switched to search and then never post the instance they use? Not everyone wants to self host a damn search engine.

      Welllll I mean technically webkit is totally separate from chromes blink fork for the last several years. I.e. browers like safari and gnome’s epiphany. That said, safari is mac/iOS only and epiphany sucks ass so…
