What are you using for your browser now?
--Gnome Web from Flathub
--Chromium in the Debian repo
--Chromium in the CalyxOS build
I would love to use Vivaldi and this is likely the best option left since it's all the old Opera devs, but FFS just make it libre software guys. They seem to be financially stable with their team of like 30 people and run one of the largest Mastodon instances and have a great community.
Its got the best interface out of any of the Chrome reskins, especially with the left side tabs. They are trolling Mozilla right now with the whole, "we are the only browser not run by a marketing company or trying to build AI into the browser."
But for me it being closed is a non-starter.
Like for fucks sake just make it libre software. Brave is open and literally nobody is building on top of it (morally bankrupt company though), what does Vivaldi have to lose by becoming libre software? They have nothing to lose and a competitive advantage to gain by becoming libre. There's literally a community waiting to embrace you.
FWIW, I am kind of behind the curve. I used the Mozilla Suite from Milestone 18 all the way until it was SeaMonkey and didn't switch until 2009 or so; then Firefox/Thunderbird until earlier this month. So if you have suggestions, I'm open.
Heard anything about Mullvad's browser? You seem knowledgeable about the topic. I use their VPN already, still using Firefox for my browser though. I'm further behind the curve than you are, lol.
