Used Waterfox and Vivaldi for a while, but had to go back to Chromium. My daily driver is an old HP mini PC running the latest Linux Mint. Both Waterfox and Vivaldi seemed ok at first, but after a while, things just got too slow and both just seemed not to function as they should. Could just be that my machine is too old to keep up, but chromium runs fine.

I'm a Waterfox user with Vivaldi as my backup. For the longest time Spotify wouldn't work in Waterfox, so I only used Vivaldi for music playback.

I use Waterfox because I want to use Firefox, but without the extra junk like Pocket and their ad "experiments."
