I wouldn’t make the switch, it’s still in alpha, too soon. I liked what I saw, but it’s a small project making their history since only this July. I find it wiser to go to Floorp in case you don’t want FF. And keep an eye on Zen’s progress.
BTW, I keep spaming. I only wanted to warn you that, as of now, Zen is “out of date” in aur.
Strangely enough I haven’t had an issue using uBO and being pestered by YouTube, no Premium here because… no thanks. Wonder if it has to do with one of my lists, or NextDNS maybe? Is it regional? No clue.
Thankfully Revanced works wonders on Android for it.

uBO is a general content blocker, not just an adblocker. I’m sure they’ve done a bit of magic to automatically block YouTube’s annoying pop-ups and let things continue on as normal.

Sure, but no longer on uBlock Origin Lite . . off with the mouse …
One of the few subscriptions I endorse FULLY. I use YouTube a LOT. Whether its uploading my original music, downloading concerts and music videos, or just watching and and falling in the rabbit hole. Well worth it for my use-case.

YouTube is the one site I use the most but I still lock it away in a Google container and find no reason to pay money to Google.

Unknown, but if it works now, we can use it till the axe comes. Then it’s the right time for another change.
people that use Vivaldi praise it to the moon. way too many settings, for me personally, and the tiny tabs aren’t agreeable, as well as their color schemes. It has a loyal following I cant knock it.
(ungoogled much more manageable and plain browser for me when I need that chrome flexibilty.)–all depends on taste. I’m happy it works for you. I’m like you. I don’t use a single browser: I rotate 3. Keeps life interesting

Just as I was exploring Vivaldi when looking for a FF alternative, right on time!
One question: I was turned off by the fact that Vivaldi uses Electron and node.js and React and a lot of other stuff which makes me queasy. I’m prejudiced, but these buzzwords usually mean that the s/w in question is a hot mess.
Can someone soothe my fears?

Since Vivialdi is closed source, I am not sure how anyone could really comment on the code quality.
However, from a general use perspective, I have not see any major issues using Vivaldi since it’s early days.
However, these days, I tend to guide people towards Floorp unless they definitely want a Chromium-based browser. It offers a lot of the customizabilty of Vivaldi while being based on Firefox ESR which makes it both stable and open for extensions.

I am thinking of midori 11 lol with 100g free space lol
According to their claims, only their own UI (which again according to their claims make up the 95% of the browser) is proprietary. And again (claims again, I wouldn’t understand anything if I tried to) this proprietary part is open for inspection to anyone.
The mere reason I don’t use it, is the absence of multiple account containers. A feature I’ve asked them multiple times in their polls (notifying that this was a deal breaker in mt decision not to adopt them as my default browser),
I don’t really see much difference between partially proprietary and fully proprietary. If only Vivaldi can build the code, there is no way to ever know what is or isn’t in the browser.
you gotta take your hat off to those (legend has it) Japanese university students who made it. I know when I saw it two years ago that Floorp that is was shiny, pretty, colorful, unique, vibrant, inventive, and made FF look good. I thought it would gain a bigger following sooner but it took a while. The creators (no link just memory) in a interview stated librewolf type security was not their aims with this browser it was more inventiveness and freshness. I’ve never seen a FF fork look less like FF, so there’s that

The Floorp project sounds quite interesting. Here is a link to the description:
However, it does make me wonder again that the project is reliant on Firefox, which we know (or at least very much suspect) that its lifespan can no longer be considered infinite at this point.
are you suggesting a Chrome-dominated world awaits us? 
gnome epihpany or bust, now!
I am really falling behind, never heard of Floorp. And that Midori is now Floorp-based was also news to me. I know it from the old incarnation with the very limited independent engine.
So, what are the reasons to prefer one over the other? Midori vs Vivaldi vs Floorp?
that was only a question, not a suffgestion!

My point in my previous post was not to give percentages between its open & closed source code, mate. They explained why they did so & that’s it. All I wanted to point out was the fact that their UI code is written in plain accessible code to read & available for audit.
