   Vivaldi vs Internet Explorer Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · Aug 27, 2022

   Vivaldi is in my opinion the greatest alternative to any browser because of it's focus on privacy, customizability and the overall user experience. a browser for even the most extreme maximalists or minimalists among us

   Chromium vs Internet Explorer Comments

   Positive comment by undeniably_lizard · Jun 23, 2021

   Make a switch from a browser that is about to die to an open source and privacy protecting alternative. I believe it is a good choice for those who still use IE.

   There is no add-on support and is too tied into the operating system.
