From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Vivaldi is my main browser of choice but Firefox is my backup. I'm logged into both and have sync enabled and have them installed on Linux and my Android.

If a site doesn't work on Vivaldi, I'll try it on FF.

I don't use Firefox.

Nowadays, a "freedom-respecting" and/or a "privacy-respecting" browser became a myth. Even so, a buzzword. If you believe theres such browser, you are delusional.
