A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

What is the opinion on Vivaldi here as an alternative? I am using Firefox and Zen currently. But I wouldn't mind jumping towards a European alternative. I switched to Firefox to support an alternative to chromium based browsers, but I think EU/Nordic angle is more important to me.

Personally I would days away from any chromium-based browser, if only on principle.

Zen is great and keeps getting better, if anyone tried it some time ago and had stability problems, chances are your experience would be much better now.

Vivaldi is basically Chrome but better, design is better, privacy 1000% better and there's a couple of extra cool features. But very similar to Chrome, for Chrome users it's the easiest swap, a true upgrade.

I'm using Vivaldi and I really like it. The way I can group tabs into workspaces is really nicefor example.
