Floorp

[Sandy Bridge]

Has anyone here taken Floorp (https://floorp.app/en) for a spin?  It's a new browser from Japan, and has been described as "Vivaldi, but on Gecko."  For those who aren't already Vivaldi users, that means "batteries included and customizeable, on Gecko", in other words more features are included without extensions being required than in mainstream browsers, and it has lots of customizable options.

 

Importantly, because it's based on Gecko, that means it also has full support for Manifest v2 going forward.

 

I'm trying it out currently, as while I'm currently happy with Vivaldi and have been for many years, most of my extensions are Manifest v2, and I've come to like the Tampermonkey scripts that I've written.  Still a bit early to decide what my browser for 2026 will be, but it's got vertical tabs, workspaces (without requiring the "re-open my tabs from last time" setting as Vivaldi does), and highly customizeable shortcuts.  It's got dual sidebars too, though I'm still figuring out the full power of those.

 

In other words, it certainly seems promising, more so than most alternative browser projects I've come across, and I'm really happy to see one that focuses on features as much as on privacy.
