Daniel BaderHOST
Firefox around 3%.
Daniel BaderHOST
And then all the others, Vivaldi and brave and arc and dia and Atlas and whatever are making up the rest.
Daniel BaderHOST
And I think if you're going to make money as a browser company, and this is literally the browser company of New York, they had no choice.
Daniel BaderHOST
They either had to get acquired, which they did in 2025 by, um, by automatic, which makes a WordPress and, uh, I'm sorry, automatic Atlassian, not, uh, See, I thought

Daniel BaderHOST
So there exists a browser within the ChatGPT app and you can open it and have an agent use it as it would an external browser.
Daniel BaderHOST
And I think that is quite interesting because while Perplexity's comment still exists, I don't see a lot of people using it.
Daniel BaderHOST
And I think there's this tendency from companies like Brave or what someone starts to be, Vivaldi.
Daniel BaderHOST
Like they all...
Joe CasabonaHOST
And I needed some things that are strictly...
Joe CasabonaHOST
Chrome like a Chrome extensions and so I moved to Vivaldi, but I spent all this time moving because Arc didn't make it easy to get out of arc and now they're only making it easy to get into dia which is their AI based browser and like I mean call me old-fashioned, but I I I don't really want AI in my browser.
Joe CasabonaHOST
I don't know.
Joe CasabonaHOST
Call me old fashioned, I guess.
Joe CasabonaHOST
You can also like describe an extension now.
Joe CasabonaHOST
But I just I don't like it as much.
Joe CasabonaHOST
I really like Vivaldi and Chrome based browsers.
Joe CasabonaHOST
And so if you are happy.
Michael TunnellHOST
So having control over how much space the interface takes up is always welcomed.
Michael TunnellHOST
But I would like to say that Vivaldi's auto hide of the UI is really nice.
Michael TunnellHOST
And I think that Firefox should copy it because it's really nice to get the entire thing full screen without having to activate the full screen.
Michael TunnellHOST
I know that you can technically just do full screen, but I don't always want it to be full screen.
NiléaneHOST
No, there's two of them.
NiléaneHOST
There's Vivaldi and Dia.
Christopher LawleyHOST
Oh, Dia.
Christopher LawleyHOST
Okay, sorry.
NiléaneHOST
Um, m- I'm mostly using Dia.
NiléaneHOST
Uh, but I don't know.
NiléaneHOST
Some days I just use Vivaldi instead.
Christopher LawleyHOST
Yeah.
LeoHOST
At that point, just slap a source available on it and call it a day, you know?
DanHOST
I feel like Vivaldi's more open source than that, right? Because they tell you, like, there's some things that are closed.
LeoHOST
Right.
DanHOST
But they're really just CSS stuff, so don't worry about that.
DanHOST
at your credit card.
DanHOST
It is source available, though, so you could go verify it for yourself.
LeoHOST
With the proprietary bits of Vivaldi?
DanHOST
I think some of it is.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Um, but it's pretty much a Chrome world, right? And so we do have all these alternatives.
Paul ThurrottHOST
We have things like Firefox and then a bunch of Chromium-based browsers, uh, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, et cetera.
Paul ThurrottHOST
And they all have something to recommend them.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Um, but this past couple of months, um, I have been using two real kind of fringe browsers [chuckles] a lot.
10 MINS LATER
Paul ThurrottHOST
In this case, the source code is all open source.
Paul ThurrottHOST
You can see it on GitHub.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Um, it's Chromium-based like Brave, like, uh, uh, other, you know, Vivaldi and Opera and most other web browsers, right? Um, it works with extensions.
Paul ThurrottHOST
So you can see the extension.
Paul ThurrottHOST
But it's pretty much a Chrome world, right? And so we do have all these alternatives.

Paul ThurrottHOST
All right, so the second web browser is probably the one you've never heard of.
Paul ThurrottHOST
I would imagine most people have not heard of this.
Paul ThurrottHOST
I have this... uh new tab uh extension in here so let me get rid of that first just so you can get a look at just what this thing would look like normally but this is called helium and so if you're familiar with the brave web browser this is very similar so uh privacy and security focused made by a small team in this case the source code is all open source you can see it on github um It's Chromium-based like Brave, like other, you know, Vivaldi and Opera and most other web browsers, right? It works with extensions.
Paul ThurrottHOST
So you can see the extension, you know, I've got all the extensions I just mentioned and some others are in here, right? uBlock Origin is integrated into the browser.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Uh, but it's pretty much a Chrome world, right? And so we do have all these alternatives.

Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Now Chromium is becoming the new default implementation of the web.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc, and many smaller browsers all rely on Chromium or its Blink rendering engine.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
They may have different privacy models and interfaces, but websites generally see them as members of the same technical family.
Artificial IntelligenceNARRATOR
Firefox stands outside that family with Gecko.
