I’m looking into Firefox alternatives as I wanna see what’s available. Being Norwegian, Vivaldi seems like a good choice to replace Firefox on desktop and Safari on iOS. Tried it for a night and it works pretty good. I do however have reservations about it being based on Chromium.

How much power does Google actually have over Vivaldi? And would it actually matter for my quest for degoogling myself?

In case anyone’s wondering. I’m also looking into LibreWolf.

Edit: Rewrote the start as people got too hung up on Firefox.

Only thing I’ve been missing while trying Librewolf for a bit is ironically enough, saved cookies on pages I sign into to keep me signed in.

Other than this it feels like a faster Firefox.

I’ve seen there’s ways to keep you singed in on Librewolf too, but I keep wonder If there’s actually a point in using it instead of Firefox if I’m saving (some) cookies anyways.

Thoughts?

Saving cookies is not the only thing Librewolf does differently from default Firefox.

Having some cookie exceptions is definitely better than having all cookies saved.
