OK, I recently ugraded to the current ESR release of Firefox for CentOS 6. And I am having problems with the user interface (basically it has become hard [for me] to use).
What alternitives are there? (Chrome and Chromium are not possible with CentOS, and Chrome and Chromium are actually worse).
I have been using Vivaldi for about 6 months now on my C7 workstation, ever since FF dropped the ball on an update and lost all my saved passwords. I only have the browser store passwords for non-important sites, but there were dozens of them, and I DO NOT back them up onto the cloud to be accessible to the great un-washed.
Vivaldi is not as media player friendly i.e. for video content, but to be fair I haven't spent much time trying to sort that out.
I find it has some nice tools for my development work / testing, however also some bugs as on occasion it will not open a link when I double click it in say an email - Vivaldi is set as the default browser. A stop and start of the browser sorts that problem. I typically keep my browser open for weeks, or until this fault causes too much frustration. It remembers all my open tabs so the restart is fairly painless.

I've just installed Vivaldi and came across the video test page: https://tekeye.uk/html/html5-video-test-page
If anything doesn't work (in my case it was the MPEG test) start Vivaldi from the command line and it will tell you what steps to take.
When I re-ran the test MPEG was fine.
