i am considering giving up firefox and migrating to Vivaldi. Any one in here able to share experience on how memrise behaves in vivaldi? can I get rid of the ugly jellyfish on vivaldi, customise my dashboard, etc?

many thanks

edit: pale moon and memrise get along ok until now

being a fan of ff, i really don’t see the point

I’ve been using Vivaldi for a bit. I like it :slight_smile:

I’ve heard that you can directly install extensions from the Chrome web extension site into Vivaldi, so you should be able to keep using Stylish, etc.

I’m in China, so I can’t access the Chrome web extension site, but I can download extensions for Opera, unpack them, and then manually import them into Vivaldi, which works :slight_smile:

did my question relate to you being or not being a fan of something??? (and, does “firefox forks” tell anything to you?)

how fast is it?

(well, how to customise /get style into the thing is the issue indeed, given that ff is getting rid of legacy addons and wants only webextensions… firefox a clone of chrome, blah)

@IchigoSmof, I used to use Firefox back in the day, but then I moved to Opera, and now to Vivaldi. “To each their own,” on this kind of thing, I’d say :slight_smile:

@Hydroptere, as far as I know, Vivaldi uses Chromium under the hood, so I think it’s speed is likely similar to Chrome’s.

I haven’t used FF much in awhile, but I was using it for a bit recently and thought I noticed that FireFox is much, much better at loading pages where part of the page’s resources are blocked on one’s network. That might not affect you much, but for people who are, say, in China, it can be a big deal.

muchas gracias, @neoncube

as long as you disable in FF most parts having to do with google, and disable those automatic connections which are not that or not at all usefull (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections), you should have much much less problems with faster navigation if behind the “great firewall”. As fork of FF, palemoon keeps in some of the old features of FF, but with all security updates (btw, the pale thing is customisable in the same manner FF stil is)

(I am afraid that FF took the path of memrise some time ago (never listening to feedback) and i am looking around for lite browsers and not so lite… (and, of course, not google :slight_smile: ))
