Who uses vivaldi anyway even there’s firefox

I just can't use a browser so... primitive? I wold gladly change to Firefox if it gave me all the customisation options Vivaldi has. Mouse gestures, synchronising my settings across 2 PCs and an android phone, shortcuts to different searchers etc. Plus it would need to be visually customisable so od doesn't irritate me every couple of minutes.

It sounds like perhaps you haven't looked into Firefox for a while, because out of the box it does all of the things you listed, except for gestures. There are multiple popular plugins that provide Firefox gestures easily. I'm not sure what visual customizations you're referring to, but Firefox also has had support for themes for ages now.

except for gestures

2 finger swipe to the left or right is the gesture to go back and forward, don't know what other gestures you'd need.

The "cradle" for going forward and backwards plus swipes for closing a tab, refreshing and opening a new tab.
