Vivaldi-GX VS Betterfox

Recently made the switch to Vivaldi from GX for the privacy stuff. I loved the UI on GX so much (everything from the toolbar icons to the themes). How to make it so that Vivaldi both looks and acts like OperaGX?? I saw a thing on Github but it didn't work when I tried it. Also I can't seem to import all of my data like bookmarks and passwords from GX to Vivaldi, any help?

Unfortunately it's no longer maintained

Considering that other similar projects like Vivaldi GX have existed for years and the fact that Vivaldi has reblogged my project on Mastodon, I'm not too worried.

For Brave? No. For Vivaldi this mod exists https://github.com/GabeVilela/Vivaldi-GX

if you like the feature set of OperaGX but want a more privacy oriented solution, check out Vivaldi, which (for historical reasons) is not too far off at first glance (sidepanel, speeddial start page and more). You can also make it look like OperaGX https://github.com/GabeVilela/Vivaldi-GX

Regarding the UI and Opera, you might be in luck. There is a theme/mod that does exactly that.

Like this? Be aware that it's been a while since I last updated it, so I can't guarantee it will work 100%

I would recommend you taking a look at Vivaldi. The browser is good-looking, customisable, is partly open-source and can be configured to look exactly like Opera GX.

There is also an actively maintained mod to make it look like Opera gx https://github.com/GabeVilela/Vivaldi-GX

You can apply Betterfox using USB debugging, but it takes time to set it up: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/240

or for more configurations, https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/

I use Brave/Firefox, so I might be biased, but I think they are the best options. If you want things to be lightweight, you could just remove some of the fat from Firefox using something like Betterfox.

> Most of the preferences in this will actually reduce the target-able attack surface

Can you point to anything specific that reduces the attack surface?

When looking at the "securefox" config, it does a bunch of strange things, like enabling embedded TikTok links (https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/443710b0738ebc8f...) and disabling UITour (https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/443710b0738ebc8f...) which Firefox uses to highlight menus and is only accessible by approved Mozilla domains (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/app/per...).

It's a very strange mix of configs.

I didn't say Floorp was doing anything wrong, Betterfox is: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/d2359e4e75a8a13fd28e3843cc1b0aac328370f8/LICENSE

But you can apply either Arkenfox's user.js or Betterfox's anyways, kinda defeats the purpose of using a test version but ok I guess

Also, on Firefox, you can use Betterfox user.js to improve security and performance, without breaking anything.

Config user js from https://github.com/yokoffing/BetterFox -> it removes all telemetry and Mozilla bs like pocket, sync, etc.
