This would probably put Mastodon on equal footing with Bluesky.

Honestly, I’m shocked it took this long for Android to actually get something like this. Given how long iPhone has had it. Then again, this is also Google. So you can’t really expect copying to happen quickly, if at all.

@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Frankly, I would suggest Vivaldi because it feels like it’s one of the few browsers that’s not a lost cause anymore. It’s not mismanaged like Firefox (with Mozilla focusing it’s time on other shiny things), not clinging onto you like Microsoft Edge (nagging you to use it), not locked in like Safari (Which is only really suitable on Apple devices), not defying it’s promises like Brave (not nearly as private as people claim), nor mundane like Google Chrome (looks good, but that’s about it. Other than that it’s just taking your data for little in return).

It’s one of the few browsers anymore being designed by people that actually understand what it’s audience wants. Both in terms of expectations of its development team, and the browser itself, without trying to reinvent the wheel either. The software itself should set the standard for how software should be designed, even if not copy it one-on-one. At least creating something modular that can be molded by it’s users.

Some major things in particular that I like:

• Featureset focuses on everything outside the webpage (no shopping tools, review tools, ai tools, anything that injects into a page that would be better off as a web extension)
• Full cross-device experience
• Overall builds upon the concepts of how web browsers were initially built in a modern fashion
• Builds upon the Chromium base, so most of the stuff there is
• Has a nice looking UI
