You can populate the start page with a bunch of dials at once by selecting multiple bookmarks and pasting them into the Fast Dial favorites folder.

It supports folders, too. ;)

I use Opera for work, and Vivaldi for everything else. (I love Vivaldi's multi-level tab stacking, a feature that Opera unfortunately does not have.)

I tried Vivaldi a few times.  It did not feel ready for prime time.  But that was around 9 years ago.  I should try out the portable version just to give it another go.    :Thmbsup:

Edit:  since Vivaldi was released in 2016 trying it 9 years ago was not possible.  I guess it just seems like that long.   ;D  I must have tried it on the Toshiba Laptop I had in those days.  Sorry for being a cup short of a coffee.   8)

Hay, while we're playing whose got the most browsers. There's a feature in IE that I've never seen duplicated anywhere else. That being the ability to run multiple isolated private mode sessions. So if I was logged into one users account in private mode, I could just hit file--> New session, and log into a different users account without the two trying to interact/trip over each other ... Because each instance was running in its own segregated sandbox.

Do any of the other browsers do that?? Because it is extremely handy for (client network) admin stuff, where you have to be in multiple accounts and/or networks at the same time. And with everyone going cloud with everything I'm running into this (and out of browsers) more and more frequently.

And now you know why I have so many browsers.  ;)

You can launch Pale Moon with the -P parameter to force it to show the Profile Manager, which would allow you to launch multiple instances of Pale Moon, each using a different profile. Each profile would have it's own everything...bookmarks, history, cookies, add-ons, etc. The Profile Manager also lets you quickly and easily create new profiles on the fly, as well as delete those that you no longer need. To force Pale Moon to always show the Profile Manager, just append the -P parameter to the shortcut target that you use to launch the browser.

Stoic Joker:
Zoiks! Another one...

Okay, so how well does Pale Moon deal with the asshat sites that "require" Chrome? Pale Moon Site says it's Goanna based - never heard of it - so what's it Goanna do when it encounters the Chromium canvas control and friends?

Heh heh.  I wrote a kludgy browser utility BingThing that has 8 buttons for browsers.  That is enough for me these days.  I don't program anymore.  Maybe I'll get my feet wet again if I have someplace to park Desktop PCs(tm) along with broadband/WiFi access.   :Thmbsup:
