Grand Pappy LYNX is the fast minimalist web browser
but not GUI
@@gogogogogogogogogogog9 The only thing you "need" a GUI browser for is JS support (I know there are like 2 whole TUI browsers that support JS, but their implementations don't work well at all). I can actually watch YT videos with only mplayer, Lynx (with the right config), and frambuffer. Links2 is pretty good, as well.

The main seller on Vivaldi for me is the split tab function, also Vivaldi's custom CSS function means that you can make it look however you wan't and add new features. I currently have custom CSS to make my Vivaldi look like Opera GX.
Does it have workspaces like Opera?
@@mr_red13 yes
No thank you i do not want my browser looking like anything Opera! I have known countless people who kept having malware until i had them uninstall Opera. You couldn't pay me to use Opera! I will stick with Vivaldi an i am glad that Vivaldi allows you the ability to make it look however you want it to.
I use Vivaldi for everything, on all my computers, at home and in the office, on Mac and Linux. Wonderfully customizable, good privacy tools built in, all the Chrome add-ons available, and indeed a good sync.
Yeah, pinch to zoom and smooth scrolling is the best feature of Vivaldi
+ Safer
Every browsers are Chromium based. We are getting less choices than ever before. I choose Firefox
Chromium is opensource so that is why most browsers are made with it
@@hidde3454 Still leaks data for Google, if not, why would people bother creating Ungoogled Chromium (desktop) and Bromite (mobile)?
@@hidde3454 Managed by Google...
Try ungoogled chromium
Why are there no Firefox based browsers in the spotlight?
Used to use firefox exclusively. Been a happy vivaldi user for about a year now.
Could you do a video on how you setup your desktop? Haven’t used awesome wm in a while and never used it with mate too. Thanks.
Firefox and Vivaldi.
totally
Bookmarking is awful, android app feels broken.
If you have android and pc it's sync is better than both as it let you directly push to specify device (if you have enabled sync ofcourse)
@@parthvsquare7762 Actually, firefox beta is better than firefox on mobile, but on pc its fine, both are.
same
I try so hard to stick with firefox but no back to chromium base Vivaldi with better speed dials over awful ugly bookmarks in firefox and extreme slow sync in firefox mobile
Old School Opera was the weird browser with all these seemingly gimmicky features we take for granted today. I'm pretty sure it was the first browser that had tabbed browsing. And I liked the mouse gestures and built in email and IRC client that it had too. Just like the Netscape of Ye Olde. I was sad to see it fall so far.
It didn't fall
The thing I can't live without from Vivaldi are the mouse gestures. Yeah I know you can add them to other browsers and opera was known for mouse gestures for a long time, but even with add ons on other browsers, I can't seem to get the same experience, and I find myself trying to use them outside of browsing, like in the explorer, or steam, or whatever has navigation, and getting getting really confused when they don't do anything, that's how much I'm used to mouse gestures and how they improve all my web browsing flow
Nice video Chris, I have been using Brave since it was in beta and I love it, I have no problems whatsoever with Brave's sync function on Linux, Windows and Android all the bookmarks are always updated on all devices.
Also when using Vivaldi in Fedora I noticed you cant resize the browser if you want it really small like you can do with Brave, Vivaldi also does not seem to block any of the adverts in TH-cam like Brave does with great ease.
Maybe back then but now you can adjust the browser header and title bar scaling seperately from the content in the browser window. that's one of the things i like about vivaldi. also Brave does not let the user round the corners of the interface if they so desire!
No Firefox in the comparison? Opera is the atrocious one, right?
Edit: I will even make fun of them if they use(d) Opera before watching this video. :p
Keep up with the times, guys.
@@ReallyNotTrix1 Chrome is considerably worse than Firefox! Tell me, why does Google keep itself starting up on Windows (probably via a service) even if you remove it from the startup-programs in msconfig? Most likely because it spies on you. If you think it isn't, it certainly is spying on you while you browse the web. That is how it knows which ads to 'serve' you.
Mozilla has done some bad things too. There was some telemetry on limited scale without the user his permission, I don't like how Mozilla pushes its cloud-feature (Pocket, I need to get into the config to remove it from the bar), Mozilla was incredibly late with adding multithread-support and for years there were new serious bugs regularly. But at the moment it has multithreaded support, I haven't had any noticable bug for 1-2 years, it is relatively light on resources and you can disable potential telemetry in the GUI which is more than what can be said of Chrome. If you are stuck in the Google-ecosystem for whatever reason, then at least use Brave. I have been using Firefox since before it became hip to use either Firefox or Chrome and to bash Internet Explorer, Chrome didn't exist back then.
Needless to say, Firefox is at the top of my list on a big distance from the nr 2, if I would have to use a Chromium-based browser then it would be Brave.
@@ReallyNotTrix1 Wait are you kidding me? Google listens? Uh, nice joke?
I hate Firefox's forced updates.
@@ReallyNotTrix1 Firefox is actually really good, I don't see much of a problem with it. And even though I usually love Google's Stuff, I absolutely hate using Chrome, I can never get it to work the way I intend
Chris, do you frown upon using some free VPN-website just to read a news-article if there is regionblocking?
I was totally Firefox, had been for years, then I found Brave. I love it for precisely the reasons quoted here.
I'm doing it right now. That's why I ended up right...
It's probably the best, objectively speaking, but it uses up way too much ram
Brave for android is shit.
@@redwood3723 fr
@@redwood3723 at least it works better than Chrome
I decided to ditch Windows for Pop!_OS recently, and it came with Firefox pre-installed, so...I'm just using Firefox now. I was using Opera on Windows for some time, didn't know it was this bad.
it isnt bad, just vpn is bad and opera is awesome
This is as of three years ago. I'm seeing a lot of marketing about Opera. I also saw that one of your more recent videos talks about four browsers, none of which was Opera. Have they improved it or is it still as bad as it was when you checked it out?
Thanks for a great channel.
What's your opinion on the Palemoon browser Chris? I like it better than Firefox, but have heard concerns about security updates being late/etc.
0:55 I was expecting *Internet Explorer*
Opera Man: "I feel so dirty. So used."
Opera man made Vivaldi, it wasn't the founder's fault.
exactly :(
@@mtk3587 yeah it was the Chinese dudes that made opera gx (I think) and now it’s like a fucking malware at this point
Could you do a video on what you recommend is the best mobile browser and why? also Brave does look pretty sleek the way you set it up i'll give you that but it doesn't look modern to me. it has the same tired squares and rectangles look as we had all the way back on windows 95 OS.
after watching this i switched form Opera to Vivaldi but i kinda miss the opera "my flow" feature. Is there some kind of alternative in for Vivaldi?
Gonna give Brave a try. Maybe it will feel more "peaceful". Thanks Mr Chris.
I was seriously about to install Opera until I was like "Maybe I should double check..." Thanks, dude!
Same. Great content
Recently switched from Brave to Vivaldi. I do like all of Vivaldi's features, but I've noticed Vivaldi has a lot more google popup ads than Brave; is there a way to stop this?
About the VPN not encrypting any data: how did you confirm this?
I used Wireshark and found that the data was encrypted indeed. But many people say otherwise.
Is this just some feedbacking of rumors or am I missing something here?
The VPN only encrypts browser-based activity to Opera VPN Servers. The VPN is also hosted by SurfEasy which operates out of Canada which is a 5-eyes country. So they would be obligated to turn over any information about your browser history. The VPN also keeps logs and tracks user activity. The only encrypted tunnel is from your PC to SurfEasy in Canada using AES-256 encryption. Also, this is a glorified proxy as you can do the tests yourself using the following Github project. gist.github.com/spaze/558b7c4cd81afa7c857381254ae7bd10 Do tests on it yourself and come to your own conclusion. I honestly could have made a 10-minute video just roasting Opera, but cut it down to a couple minutes just for the sake of brevity.
I personally like Firefox and Vivaldi in my everyday use
I find them snappy quick and having the features I want for daily use without any background shenanigans
Firefox does sell your search data like opera
@@RBX_RedPlayz well to be fair this comment is over 2 years old
Firefox all the way... Chromium is too big atm, privacy nightmare and will become new IE.
I tried going back to Firefox. It's too hard to dark theme (ShadowFox still isn't as good as just Chromium plus Dark Reader), and Dark Reader doesn't work near as well in Firefox. Haven't had any problems with Brave.
There's also that none of Mozilla's stuff respects the XDG spec on Linux, and Chromium does.
Firefox is great for many and I have tried to switch to it multiple time but it just never stuck with me.
I think most people who used Firefox who didn't want to use Chrome have switched to Waterfox as its more privacy respecting than Firefox and Chrome.
Firefox takes up WAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much memory and CPU to even be useful anymore.
LYNX uses less ram than other browsers
I'm using edge and my issue is slowdown after having multiple tabs open. Does vivaldi do this better?
*Chris Titus*
3:13 I think the subtitles didn't translate the best VPNs you mentioned correctly. Google just found other things that have nothing to do with it. Could you provide the names and, if possible, the corresponding sites? TY. thumbs up
So sad about Opera. They were my favorite --all the way back to the Browser wars... I dropped them last year. Tried Brave --it's speedy, but uses TONS of system resources. Might switch to Vivaldi. Love the creativity of the old Opera team.
Damn, I've been using Opera as my main browser for 15+ years. Brave has become my number two browser. I suppose I'll switch Opera out for Vivaldi... Thanks for pointing out things I did not know.
15 years ago, Opera was still pretty good.
I've been using it for 10 years, time to to move it is
@rrobertt13 I use none of opera's special features. I don't use any browsers special features. Opera works well and is fast. Much faster than vivald. Plus Opera has cli options and vivaldi does not. Fortunately vivaldi works well enough with default and assumes the second parameter is an url. So you can set vim to open vivaldi to the url your cursor is over with no issues. Despite making Vivaldi my default browser I still like Opera more. Especially Opera's snappiness.
i actually like Opera GX, Why everyone hates it so much.
@@CheapHomeTech I've been using Opera as my main browser but it's been rather slow recently.
Great comparison. Do anyone know if in Vivaldi, you can for example login to a website on your desktop and then open your mobile vivaldi, and it syncs that you are logged in? (Like Google Chrome). I am currently using Brave, been satisfied with it, but I really hate the lack of sync. Thanks
I wanted to stop using Chrome so I moved all my bookmarks etc to Firefox but I found out I can't pause / play a video (i.e. Netflix ; TH-cam) from my bluetooth headset while on Firefox. Will Vivaldi work with this?
One concern I have with Vivaldi is that it is not entirely open source. But I understand why since there are features about the browser the company behind it doesn't want made known. However, in many ways Vivaldi Tech's transparency can make up for this.
Tried Vivaldi once. Never looked back, absolutely love the customisation. built in ad, tracker and cookie blocker. Tons of themes. it's just awesome.
@Annoying Elitist i have the normal default vivaldi, and its a lot better than firefox, opera, and brave in terms of performance, at least, in my rig, the latest updates is improving a lot the performance of the browser.
I used Vivaldi, Immediately turned back to Firefox
@@hypercrack7440 nobody asked you m8
@@demianm1845 Nobody answered you m8
What Linux distro did you use in this video show casing Vivaldi?
Chris brave's sync is only sync between devices, vivaldi does not guarantee the data on their server can be restored if you lose local data
Is there any way to be sure the bookmarks wont be lost?
"Imagine having a browser which sells your data and false advertises a 'VPN'"

Chrome: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that
imagine being just a bad ripoff of chromiul
This post was made by the Firefox gang
okay i'm being harsh here, but the chromium monopoly is a really bad thing
Love Vivaldi since the moment I started using it.
i just started to try it now but wow im amazed by its features
@Road Runner me too
What are your thoughts on Falkon? I find it to be not that bad on my older netbook.
What about lynx? (I did find a use for it many years ago when I needed to download some packages to fix a broken X11 installation, but the network required authentication via a web browser).
I used Opera when it was one of the very few OS/2 browsers in the 90's and early 2000's.
Does opera decrease ping in gaming? or it doesnt' affect ping in game
I used it from its inception till about 2012 when it ditched its original design and originality and became a "Google Chrome" clone. In its early days, for me, it was easily my preferred browser...
I didn't even KNOW until just now that the Swedish company who invented "Opera" had sold it to a Chinese conglomerate...
About 5 years ago I switched from Firefox to Opera and I use it till today as my primary browser, but I rarely use it's VPN. :D
stop
@@ballerrr273 Nope. I like it. :)
opera vs opera mini i am stuck between these two does these both have same owner ??
I still use Netscape Navigator on my MacPlus. So what do I know?
Vivaldi for me , I've been using it for a good month now. I have absolutely no complaints.
The big plus in my opinion the way you could put multiple tabs into one and display them the way you see fit. For exemple you could put A python tutorial youtube on the top half of the screen under it a jupyter note book next to a terminal in a very practical way.
And alot of other practical features
@Minister Mozy already did lol ^^
Thank you for this video. I've been watching your stuff for a little while and saw this pop up as a suggestion. I decided to see how my recent browser of choice, Opera, would fair against Brave and Vivaldi. As soon as you mentioned you would make fun of certain users for using a specific browser, I figured it was Opera and became interested to know why. Boy oh boy did I not know those things about Opera. Bummed me out since I have used them on and off for decades and had no idea they had gotten sold.
The entire thing made my recent move to Manjaro pretty funny. See I decided to do it because I broke Opera trying to get video codes and HTML 5 properly working on Pop. Basically I couldn't use TH-cam anymore. I saw this was a one click install for Manjaro and was quite excited. Sadly I'm on a laptop with hybrid nvidia graphics and the solutions for that on Manjaro have a ways to go in my opinion. I really hope to see that all fleshed out soon (especially with the recent Gnome updates) as I think long term I'd rather be on Manjaro after using it. Pop tends to "just work" more often than not for me and the fresh install has actually done a lot to improve overall quality of life. And now that I've swapped browsers I don't need to worry about youtube not working and accidentally breaking anything trying to get codecs installed (seriously I found like a dozen walkthroughs to get those working and none of them worked for me. One of them literally made it so Opera wouldn't launch).
I've now swapped over to Brave as my main browser. Added bonus for me is it's chromium based so I can now use certain tools (jitsi) without having to open chromium. So again, thanks for this! This single video caused me to wipe an OS and uninstall a browser from my Windows partition. I can't think of another youtube video that caused me to take so much action in a single day.
I'm not gonna lie, I've been a loyal devotee of Opera, ever since I had it on my Nokia "feature" phone in the o.g. presto days(And I will forever rep Opera during those days)..... But man, this has been an eye opener.I had no idea that one of the co-founders left cause the Opera that I knew and loved was losing its soul. Honestly I just stumbled into this video while checking out what other browsers there were , for curiosity with no intention to change, but now I feel like I have to. Thanks for the heads up man, subscribed!
I use Opera for it's VPN.. Any vpn suggestion for brave or edge? I tried some extensions but some websites didnt open whilst on opera with vpn enabled they work just fine..
I’ve been using Opera since 2015 ish, I think, and it’s served me well. I miss the early versions having great tab management, I don’t get how that got dropped. It used to be the fastest of the major browsers, and still supported flash when the other major browsers dropped it.
So it’s great to see this video now and realise how far it’s fallen and what it has become haha, I haven’t looked at browsers in years.
I use Opera, vpn out of Texas and sign up for everything as Chris Titus...
I use Firefox/Brave also
Hehe, well done sir!
You are using a Chinese owned browser. You think that VPN really does anything?
Chris Titus Tech opera gtx is way better and I switched today it’s amazing
@@douganderson7002 What do you expect? Its in his name and pfp. 😂
In terms of ram consumption, google chrome is the best compared to Brave or Vivald. You think Chrome is bad, but I want a browser that consumes less memory. Do you have a recommendation to replace Chrome?

How do you export your startpage folders and passwords etc from opera to vivaldi. mporting don't work

3 years here
just switched from firefox to brave,its been great
@Chris Titus Tech Noob question: Why should someone not use Chrome on Linux?
How is streaming video with Vivaldi and Brave?
I am slowly and willingly entering the Linux cult.
It’s not a cult. ITS A WAY OF LIFE! ALL HAIL ARCH,DEBIAN, THE OTHER ONE NOBODY USES
Welcome to the dark side, we have cookies.
I wonder how many people browser hop :)
I browser hop almost as much as i distro hop.
@Crazy Cat i havent use opera in a long time, currently on firefox. Was a vivaldi fan and brave, kinda just ship since i was a long time ff user and when i heard it was faster with quantum update i jump ship.
How can i see if vivaldi supports a specific web API or a css property?
Does Brave or Vivaldi call home to Google servers? Thoughts on Iridium browser?
Edge and Opera GX are my favorites. So sad that Opera can't be trusted.
but if you're using opera gx, which is made by the same company that owns opera, which is a Chinese company that recently acquired opera in 2016, what's the difference? you're still using opera in theory
Opera gx usa seu Pc para minerar bitcoins
Firefox
I still have one of the old, good versions of Opera, but it's very old. I tried to save my Bookmarks as html, but it would never upload correctly to Chrome. I only ever got pieces of it. The Vivaldi version I have was slow--maybe because of my computer? Could I keep my bookmarks in Brave?
* Don't use old version of Opera - it's unsafe and don't support half of modern technologies.
* Yes your PC is probably very old and weak.
What is that console mixer as a WEB UI interface ? How is that work?
I'm watching this in Vivaldi. :D
Hi Chris, thanks for the video, i think that maybe you forgot the huge security/anti-tracking featured system on Brave, witch is the reason that I use it. I agree with you with Opera. Geez, for real, is even legal that browser? LOL . Anyway. Vivaldi, yes and maybe, since that I don't use any Google app anymore and cloud sync's in hands of any company is not thinkable for me anymore. Go forward to the new Nextcloud Chris. Privacy matters :) :=P
I am reluctant to use Brave (and Tor) because it is... Torlike : it turns your pc into a webnode (as with Tor) that can be used by any Brave user and, ultimately, be used as an end point for another Brave user so whatever web activity he does, is performed through your pc... Indulging into such a web structure slows the internet browsing as is confirmed with the Tor browser. Am I wrong ?
I've quickly skimmed through some things about Opera and I just want to ask,
Do note I am switching to Brave, but I was originally using Opera GX because I've heard good things about it and I've only wanted to switch because of recently as Opera was taking up so much memory
I'd just like to ask if I am in danger since I've used the "Gaming Browser" for so long?
I downloaded opera couple of days ago and now... I'm uninstall it and getting myself Vivaldi thanks for the info
Brave here. Really love it.
Brave is great. Very resource efficient compared to other browsers.
Just switched to the Brave Browser, because Firefox:
1. will no longer let me tweak settings in "about:config" (it appears to toggle the change, but then there is no way to save the change, and it reverts back as soon as I close "about:config"
2. In the main Settings Menu, it's now impossible to tick the "Warn On Closing Firefox" box.
3. After closing Firefox, when I try to empty my Temp folder (%temp%), it says that can't be done because "the file is still open/in use". I then have to reboot, just to empty the Temp folder. That doesn't appear to be a problem with the Brave browser (at least so far).
Used Firefox for a long time, but those problems are disturbing. I'm done with Firefox.
Hello everyone! I switched to Mint almost a year ago after following a tutorial on this channel. Thanks so much! Anyone know why Vivaldi doesn't show up when I search for it in my software manager? I'm on Mint 19.2 tessa. I'd like to try Vivaldi. I used to use Brave but a couple of months ago the audio stopped working through that browser so Firefox is my primary.
Add some PPA with Vivaldi :-)
Here is the Repos for Vivaldi if you are interested: help.vivaldi.com/article/manual-setup-vivaldi-linux-repositories/
I use Opera to browse and download videogames and movies, and I love it so much :) Vivaldi is pretty good in Windows but in Linux it freezes a lot on every website I visit, even if I disabled javascript & flashplayer it keeps freezing up.
My Top favorite browsers for Linux are Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera :)
I am so sad about the Opera. Back in the day when it had integrated email client, Opera was my favorite browser. But now it is just a memory...
Yeah, was one of the reasons I started looking for a different browser, ran 12.0X for a long time and when they sold I bailed.
Would Vivaldi work on work related websites that recommend Chrome?
did Vivaldi ever make complete Visual Bookmarks and drag n drop ease like its integrated and synched in like featured in Opera Browser?
I know some Firefox and Chrome extensions got to make Visual Bookmarks but in all those cases the add-on creator either abandoned the project, discarded it or made some malicious change that broke Terms and was removed.
Once your favorite Bookmark add-on gets lost, you lost your bookmarks.
Browsers seem to outlive add-ons so I'm better off looking for things as built-in features rather than add-ons.
Been an Opera user since the beginning. It saddens me to have to leave, but I didn't know - honestly. Thx
LOL...Bring back Mosaic!
I was switching from Firefox to Brave a few days ago and I am happy with the design and stuff but I am not very happy about some missing animations on websites and bugs on a few websites.
What do you think of Chromium based browsers offered by Avast or Ccleaner or Comodo or AVG?
Yes opera was one the best!! Now best for me Vivaldi. Brave to surf some dark territory 😁
Firefox gang here; Don't want a Google monopoly of the web, And custom CSS for interface is just amazing
And if you don't like Mozilla for some reason: Waterfox, Icecat, Pale Moon, Basilisk, Tor
I support Firefox as well, I just wanted to make a comparison video for those chromium based users out there.
I use Opera for the bookmarks with thumbnails. Can I have that in brave?
Chris, what are your thoughts on Firefox? I dislike Opera for the reasons you listed, I dislike chromium based browsers because I resist Google hegemony. Why not include Firefox, an obvious alternative, in your video?
Love opera....used it for years... they all sell your data....vivaldi is moody....
Bro get a life and get Brave Browser
I also use Opera and love it to much and I do not want to lose it. 😭😭😭
my issue with vivaldi is that it isnt as good on mobile
Thank you very much, i've been using Opera since Three years because of it's really good performance on my computer (2009 tech) and even thought i saw the little video LinusTech did on Opera GX were he touches upon the topic of the predatory behavior and data selling, i got finally convinced by you, and also got two replacements. Thank you Chris
How do you download difficult videos like twitter? Opera is good for video media downloading.
How do you use Opera for media downloading? Type slowly, I'm a boomer when it comes to IT.
I'm seeing a lot of these "Chromium sends\sells data to google so Firefox" but didn't Mozilla recently start performing telemetry and do so in such a way that it allows some of that data to become an identifier for individual users\workstations?
I use Opera. Change my mind.
I've been using Vivaldi for about 2 years now?..LOVE it...I promise if you try it out..you'll love it too...this is coming from someone that's been through FireFox, Chrome, Opera, etc ..
It was actually developed by one of the guy who created opera..so it has some familiarizes there..if privacy and multitasking is your thing..give it a spin..
Thanks for this informative, short and to the point video!
Whoa! Hold on! What is VPN? I use Opera because I like its features, and would consider switching because it IS SLOW, but what is VPN?
Chrome vs Chrome vs Chrome :^)
@rrobertt13 Vivaldi looks really nice but brave looks exactly like chrome. Vivaldi has a different look which it really works well
@@Maledis87 Brave still has the more rectangular and compact design of Chrome, which is now all rounded and somewhat more padded.
Hardened FireFox > everything
(In terms of security)
I used Opera 12 until it started no loner working on many sides (and bothered me to update to the "new" Opera, which I did not want).
I then switched to Firefox for a while, which was good but when Vivaldi finally got a reputation for being reliable I picked that up and did not regret it. I still have Firefox installed for obscure plugins but for everyday browsing it's Vivaldi which feels much better then Firefox to me, as someone who barely ever closes his browser.
Never checked Brave out, though, sounds like a good alternative.
I use Opera on mx Linux 18.3 and my android devices. I only use the 'vpn' for porn and torrents. Opera is the only browser on Android that, to my knowledge, adapts the text to the screen when you zoom on a page. Tell me of another browser that does that and I'll gladly consider changing.
