    Vivaldi is what I use, and it’s absolutely the best Chromium browser I’ve ever tried.

    That said, I’d switch to Firefox in a heartbeat if it could duplicate that sidebar. I use that thing all the time, and it’s the only thing keeping me on Chromium.

        Try it out. It’s a sidebar that allows you to put all kinds of websites and tools in small pop-out windows.

        A less visually appealing, but much more powerful version of the opera chat sidebar.

        I’ve tried to get something similar in Firefox, but nothing comes even close.

        Built-in functions >>> addons any day of the week.

        (cfr mouse gestures)

            Yeah, no. I should have put some hyphen I guess.

            Opera chat-tabs. Opera has a sidebar for chat clients (eg messenger, WhatsApp, telegram,…) built-in. It works really well and is prettier than the Vivaldi implementation. Still sticking with Vivaldi though

        It’s a thin, persistent bar on the left side of the page with tools and shortcuts. By default, it’s where you find bookmarks, history, downloads and things like that, but you can also add custom websites to it as well. They pop out either over or alongside the main window (depending on whether the pin button is pressed), and they display the mobile webpage when available, to be more usable in such a small window. It’s how I use Discord and Mastodon.

        I just switched to floorp from firefox, it’s so nice to finally have another choice for a non-chromium browser with a reasonable number of plugins

        Floorp is built on Firefox and was built in Japan and is a new browser with excellent privacy & flexibility.

        There’s something really funny about that sentence. I think it’s because it reminds me of “remember Akira? That’s from Japan.”
