Vivaldi browser.

Gecko is dead — if you're still using it, you just haven’t realized it yet. Many of us have noticed that Firefox (Gecko) no longer works properly on a growing number of websites.

That’s not the fault of webmasters — it’s how the free market works. Developers optimize for what the majority uses, not for a shrinking niche. Unless your site specifically targets Gecko users, there's no incentive to support it.

I don’t expect modern websites to work with Internet Explorer, even though it’s still bundled with Windows 10 and 11. If you're using IE, its only job is to download a better browser — and the same is true for Firefox now, even if it’s still technically in development.

I stopped using Firefox because the struggle became pointless. Its claim to fame was better privacy, but today, Firefox spies on you just as much — if not more — than Microsoft Edge.

It’s a Chromium world. The browser wars are over. Firefox didn’t just lose — it sold out. It's now packed with AI integrations, and Mozilla is working with both Meta (Facebook) and Google.

The only real alternative is Apple Safari, which is limited to Apple users. And if I were on Apple hardware, I’d still install Vivaldi.
