I'm using different browsers for different use cases. LibreWolf for general day to day browsing

Waterfox for background streams stuff where I log into accounts, its a choice not to cross contaminate these

Mullvad Browser for everything grey area-ish

Mull on phone with incognito icon and deleting everything on closing for day to day browsing

Firefox Beta for logging in to accounts where closing doesn't delete credentials

Everything is equipped with at least ublock origin and different modes of no script ranging from default mullvad browser config, to super strict allow per side and script basis in LibreWolf

Neither. 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.

To echo @technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com, you should give LibreWolf a look. It's based on Firefox, but with the telemetry disabled and the default settings set in a way that best protects your privacy.

One adjustment I faced when switching to it was that, by default, LibreWolf deletes all cookies upon exiting, which was annoying for sites I want to stay logged into (e.g. my email). But you can either turn that off, or click on the lock icon in the address bar and tell LibreWolf to save cookies for that site, which is what I did- and WOW DO I LOVE IT! Bonus perk is that it breaks nag windows on sites that keep track of how many articles you've read.

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.

Don't use Vivaldi.

@VanHalbgott Browser?

Vivaldi with DuckDuckGo as search engine.

Vivaldi, if you want customization.

I wouldn't use either as they both use google's browser engine. They're just two flavours of Chrome.

Better for what? DDG probably better for privacy as Vivaldi doesn’t really makes any promises around protecting your privacy.

Yet I’m using Vivaldi and really enjoying it. Built in Mail, Calendar and RSS works great. Tabs nested inside tabs is also great. So if you are into that kind of bells and whistles, give it a shot.
