It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win ๐Ÿ˜Ž but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

Vivaldi is open source I guess.

Partially, not entirely.

Of the three layers, only the UI layer is closed-source. This means that roughly 92% of the browser's code is open-source coming from Chromium, 3% is open-source coming from us and only 5% is our UI closed-source code.

Do you recommend using it, though? (It used to be one of my favourite browsers) especially when we have other browsers such as librewolf, Floorp, etc.
