Yeah, I knew about Vivaldi, and the new Opera too. Chrome/FF, Mac/Windows, Canon/Nikon, Chevy/Ford. So many religions!

Here is Vivaldi with peperflash. You can copy peperflash to your Vivaldi 1.11.
You can unpack this file with p7zip.

..why not have a go yourself?

Do you know how much hard drive space and RAM is recommended to compile Chromium? TC users are usually people with old hardware. The biggest data storage in my home is 32 GB miniSD card.

FF has many sins. Youtube works better on Webkit/Blink. It don't work with ALSA anymore, you have to remember to install libavcodec.tcz for H.246, there's no swiftshader (software WebGL support), new versions have bugs. Seamonkey is much more stable than FF for me. It's no good idea that Big G become a new monopolist like M$ but FF is not user friendly anymore. There's still FireFox ESR 52 in TC10 repo and FF has new Quantum engine since ESR 60. But our idea is to bring more TC users by offering different web browsers.

Latest Firefox playing UltraHD 4K YouTube video smoothly with audio and a Netflix movie standing by on the secondary Tab.

What’s not to like about that!


I do like the clean appearance of Vivaldi but it’s still only based on Chromium.

OT: Don't fall for 4K if you can't even see it.  Might save some bandwidth costs.

I usually don't fall for most online videos being mostly click-bait and whatnot, but this one does an entertaining, yet techy enough explanation that measures up:

Pay attention to the need to *intentionally* degrade the signal with motion blur to avoid seasickness or just everything in soap-opera mode.  And, unless one is high on something (cofee included), much of what it touts won't be noticed by the brain.
