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.
