@newick Merci pour l’info. C’est quand même déplorable de se faire imposer en douce des usines à gaz toxiques par l’un des navigateurs reputés les plus respectueux de la vie privée !
Si leurs nouveaux boss continuent à nous prendre pour des pigeons, je vais dégager #Firefox.
#Vivaldi, que je teste en ce moment, est très efficace, agréable et me semble plus clean bien que construit sur une base Chromium.
Si quelqu’un a des avis sur ce dernier point, je suis preneur

@Vivaldi Mail, Tasks, Calendar, Notes, Settings and some pinned web links.

How about a side panel for pinning Start Page widgets vertically? Then we could use them productively as we browse.

I appreciate your genuine efforts, @jon, but #Vivaldi is still based on #Chromium… you are technically dependent on a browser engine maintained by #Google! What if all of a sudden they decide to close it? As improbable as it might sound, we are in an epoch of absolutely improbable stuff happening.

I thought about giving Vivaldi a try, but to be honest I was never interested in installing any browser that is not a #Firefox fork.

#FreeSoftware is not an extra added value, but something fundamentally relevant!

(I read your articles about the points I raised, but they are just technical and they gliss political and socio-economic aspects)

@jon

I've been trying to like #Vivaldi, but the UI is just (to me) horrible.

Why put a QR code where the drop-down menu sometimes is?
Why do items deleted from history just come back again and again?
Why will history only auto-delete if you go through some extra "I'm really, really, really shutting down" dance?
Why does it always restart with whatever tab was last open? I've tried every one of lots of switches and options, and they just seem to be ignored.
So much suggesting, constantly

@Randy

I have a PinePhone and a PinePhone Pro. They are fun to play with but the original PinePhone is slow. The Pro is much snappier. I am not demanding as far as phones go, I mainly do not wish to be tracked by the OS or the apps. As I am most familiar with debian Linux, mobian with phosh on the PinePhones works for me.

The main issues for me are lack of support for the built in cameras and poor battery life. The PinePhones can be made to sleep as a battery saving strategy and *should* wake up to an incoming call.

There are issues using Vivaldi (stable or snapshot) on the PinePhone. The touch interface support stops working after a few seconds. The address bar buttons and other UI buttons/controls stop working even though you can still type in addresses.

The Pro is much better in that respect and you can use Vivaldi for maybe an hour at a time without the touch support stalling. Restarting Vivaldi is the workaround if the touch interface ceases to respond. That or using keyboard navigation. Or attaching a mouse.

I looked at both Murena and Fairphone phones. The downside is that inevitably you will end up installing Android apps on them. I do not know to what degree app telemetry is blocked on de-Googled Android OSs.
