Fair enough. I'm more concerned about them removing their clause about never selling your data... Edge was surely already more invasive, but at least they didn't do thr equivalent Of removing Don't be Evil.

Vivaldi seems to be a nice balance of privacy, features etc. Looking forward to exploring it more. A bonus is that it imported all my edge tabs, history etc in like 2 seconds, and should support all the same extensions (some of which I might not need now)

@nikolasdi I've been a very happy user of edge since basically the day it became chromium. The main reason, though, was really just vertical tabs and sync with android. I like the tracker blocker etc too.

I see Vivaldi has those and much more - rss reader, native adblock, surely vastly less telemetry/user profiling, and not pushing copilot down your throat every chance they get.

@pointlessone @nikolasdi

What do you propose as a solution? Safari (execs) are anti-web, Firefox's management is in absolute shambles...

@pointlessone @nikolasdi

In what way is it a shame? As far as I can tell, chromium is the most full-featured, test-passing browser of the 3

@nikolasdi I just checked out Vivaldi for the first time based on this comment. It looks *fantastic*...

I'm going to give it a test-drive and probably end up switching over from Edge

Here's a good article that you could add to your list, which summarizes the options and concludes that lqip images are probably a better options than blurhash/thumbhash. https://www.mux.com/blog/blurry-image-placeholders-on-the-web

But this css-only approach seems to be the holy grail - essentially 0 data transferred, instant rendering, good-enough/comparable placeholder image fidelity!
