I can't say enough good things about Vivaldi browser

[JayhawkSD]

16. I used Vivaldi for quite a while.

Then it started freezing. Found that it was a common problem, and the Vivaldi "helpers" in the discussion groups were blaming the users. I said to hell with it and switched back to Firefox. I understand that Vivaldi has since fixed the problem, but I will keep using Firefox until one of their revisions screws it up and I'll probably go back to Vivaldi.

Firefox Quantum, the current version, is very fast and lightweight. All the plugins I liked back when I was using it last time work in this version, so I'm happy enough with it. Sooner or later they'll break it and I'll check the other browsers to see which one I like best.

The problem with all browsers is that they are constantly changing and working on them. I know they are doing it to counter threats, but they can't resist the temptation to tinker with the bells and whistles at the same time, and inevitably the break something that either slows it to a crawl, makes it freeze, or injects bells and whistles that make it play a tune that I don't want to listen to.

I don't really care. There are many, many browsers available, and I am "loyal" to none of them. When one starts acting in a manner that is annoying, it bothers me not the least to start looking at others to find one I like better. None of them are "wonderful," they are just tools. I use them the way a ditch digger uses a shovel.
