It has some neat features like a sidebar, built in adblocker and customization features. I also would never use it but I think it’s a good sign that Linux is being taken serious as a platform
Isn’t it Chromium based and thus subject to whatever Google forces them to do with adblocking?
I don’t mean to kinkshame and people can use their own favourite browsers, but Firefox has good support for all three of those areas (adblocking is an extension though).
I would never use it as I said because of all the shit they did/do. However the google only blocked extension based adblockers not those on a browser level. These would be quite hard to block without closing down the chromium source code, which would also be hard as chromium is partially LGPL. The theming options in Opera GX are more accessible than userChrome.css with Firefox and they are more powerful than simply changing themes. The sidebar of the base Firefox has been really weak in my experience. Something like Zen+ubo however would be a more comparable (and better for that use case) option

Pretty sure Vivaldi has all of that. And they where on Linux from the start.
Yep. Vivaldi is the shit.
