Ignore my other reply, for some reason I was sure you were commenting in a different thread and couldn't see context.
Your experience disagrees, that's fine, but could you give some examples? What exactly would take weeks to migrate? Certainly not extensions and settings or bookmarks, so what would? It's not a question of belief when we have empirical evidence to work with.
- wruza 2y agoAs I said below, I had to find a new way to manage my bookmarks due to the difference in how it works in Vivaldi. Also after some search I decided to write a custom search-with extension, which surprised me with learning web-ext signing. Another issue was with download location that works very strangely until you mess with about:config. Firefox also has scrolling tabbar, which I had to disable and restyle so I can actually see where tab buttons are. Spent time on finding a non-malbloat gestures ext. Still have to rewrite some ahk scripts for new bookmarklets placement. Failed to have custom shortcuts (ff has none). I remember having a few more issues but can’t tell now. Things like last tab standing, deciding which one of the history/recently closed lists to use, etc. It took a few days to investigate, google, try and fail, take rest, try again. Sure, I can do this faster now due to experience, but you start with none.
- kennysoona 2y agoThat's fair, it took a bit of time for me to convert everything from Brave back to Firefox when I switched, but once you have everything you need in both formats, you never really have to do anything like it again, not until a third browser that's worth something comes along at least.
