I've recently moved from Firefox to Vivaldi and, so far, I'm very
happy with the change. It took a while to find *all* the 'default
browser' settings that pointed at Firefox but I think I have finally
managed it!
I got fed up with Firefox getting so totally paranoid about security
among other things, I run a web server on my home LAN for local use
only, having Firefox tell me it should be HTTPS is just annoying! ...
and there's nothing particularly sensitive or secret on the LAN pages
anyway!
