Hi everyone, with the whole Firefox ToS change and it’s fingerprinting I asked on mastodon if anyone could recommend a web browser alternative to Firefox and was recommend to go with Vivaldi due to their no fingerprinting, and allowing unlock to still work even though it uses manifest v3.

I am already switching to librefox on windows, and fence on android.

But I wanted to ask if the claims for vivaldi where true?

    If you want to defend against fingerprinting, you should use multiple browsers to segment your browsing activity, not depend on one browser to have some kind of Wunderwaffen against fingerprinting. The idea is to not have your real identity tied to parts of your browsing activity that you want to keep private.

    Personally, I do use Vivaldi as one of my browsers. I use it for accessing Apple services (e.g. iCloud Drive and Mail), but it is not one of my main browsers.
