'Just the Browser is a new project by developer Corbin Davenport. It aims to fight the rising tide of undesirable browser features such as telemetry, LLM bot features billed as AI, and sponsored content by a clever lateral move.'

I made more progress with LibreWolf last night. It tries very aggressively to protect you (which is good!) but that mean you may need to work a little harder to log into some of the sites you use.
Sync seems to have brought over my plugins and bookmarks but maybe not all my saved logins.
In 7.7, we've added a dedicated Performance section to Settings where you can configure Energy Saver mode for increased battery life, use the Memory Saver to unload inactive tabs and free up memory, enable lazy loading, and more. 🚤

Fixed.
You forgot that you have offices in Massachusetts, USA. I wish you didn’t, since I believe digital sovereignty is very important right now, but you do have offices in the United States as well.
@Vivaldi
Stumbled upon it one day in #Ubuntu's app store's “New and Updated” section. 'Twas actually the #Flatpak version, which doesn't really have the best #images and #description, as it's #unofficial, so I wasn't drawn to it at first, but just kept in my #mind. A few days later, #BraveBrowser started having a lot of #issues (it was my bad, actually, but anyway) and I switched to #MicrosoftEdge for a while. A little time after, I found out about some ugly things M$ does through its #browser, and looked for an #alternative. #Browsers like #Brave were already too #basic for me, after using #Edge, and thus, when I saw #Vivaldi as a powerful alternative, I didn't hesitate a moment and tried it.
That's the most #important part of the story, but… there's a second #volume: At first, I was like a #crazy#chicken in front of a pot full of #earthworms, so… I obviously broke the browser in just one, two days. In the meanwhile, I also managed to repair Brave, and I was thinking of leaving V, considering it too #buggy. But luckily, I decided to give it one more chance, this time being more #cautious about #messing up with #settings… and here I am!
You might call me a very #wise person, since I didn't #giveUp immediately, but the #truth is… I was simply #mesmerized by it… :tony_happy:
"A New Privacy Browser, or Something Else?" 👀👏
