Because it’s one of the last few browsers that’s usable and not based on Chrome/Chromium
- Open source
- Reasonably privacy respecting (could be better OOB)
- Extensions that further enhance privacy and remove unwanted annoyances from pages
- Cool logo
I’ve been using it for years, first out of disdain for Internet Explorer, now out of disdain for Google Chrome. I just do not trust the corpos at all, and Firefox has always been solid(outside of a few years in the '10s).
Because it’s privacy focused. Also because it’s not based on Chromium. It’s the only one keeping us from having a Google browser monopoly
Because I enjoy freedom and privacy
Becuase the other browsers suck.
This was my excuse until recently. Now I enjoy Vivaldi. Turns out I need less extensions to enjoy this one! I’m so happy 😊
Vivaldi is chromium based and not fully open source. It doesn’t deserve any more trust than chrome/edge/safari/etc.
Chromium based trash 😠
