Quick browser question:

Is Vivaldi a chromium browser? I use Firefox, I am happy with Firefox, and I will continue to use Firefox as my main browser.

However, sometimes, things don't resolve properly if you're not using a chromium browser. Ideally, I would just not use those - seriously, if you can't be arsed making your site work on multiple browsers, I can't be arsed visiting your site - but on occasion I have no choice. There'll be something I need to do, and I need to use a chromium browser.

So I keep Opera installed on my phone (android) as an alternative for such situations. However, I keep reading lately how Opera is not just a bit rubbish but actively a bad thing.

I would like to have a chromium browser alternative that's as not-evil as possible. Is Vivaldi the answer?

(Please, if you're thinking of saying 'don't use android', or 'refuse to access any chromium-only sites', then don't. Don't be that person. Go away and think about your life choices instead.)

@RolloTreadway It is, and it's been around for a while. I never used it, but my general impression is positive.

Vivaldi is made by people from the original Opera, - but I haven't looked into what current problems with Opera are so I don't know if that may be a problem.

Internet engineer is on her way. Very anxious now. These things are always difficult for me.

@RolloTreadway I possibly said it before, but I can very very much relate to that.

I feel like there shouldn't be a reason for things like this to be a problem, yet it stresses me out a lot.

Take care 💜 .

Okay, I've cut my hair, I've cleaned the bathroom, I've done a little life admin, I've fed the birds, I've fed myself, now I think it's time to try and call the internet people.

Morning everyone. Last night was bad, this morning is very bad. There are things upsetting me that I really want to talk about but I can't right now because it'll take up all my energy and I need that energy for all the work that keeps piling up and for which I am not remotely adequate paid.

    For whatever it's worth, I feel much the same (with a few exceptions for meetings with people I work very well with).

    Today I am working with my nemesis: couscous.

    @Cassandra I have seriously considered eating in an apron or have dedicated eating clothes, so at least it doesn't ruin clothes which matters, when food rebels :-).

    @RolloTreadway @Cassandra Indeed. My challenge right now is that it wasn't really an issue in the past (since I didn't care as much about the clothes and it was less "delicate") so I don't really have any fitting apron... To be fixed :-).
