    Vivaldi? Trusting a closed sourced application for privacy? What?

    Not even defending brave here, just weird that the author say that.

      I never understand why people prefer Vivaldi over, let’s say, Chrome. I personally use FF with hardened security, but if I had no chance, I’d rather give my data to Google, not a browser company with an unknown business model and bloat.

      Vivaldi is weird, I once talked with their CEO over on Mastodon (they are active there, which is a good sign, probably), it still felt shady, sadly.

        There is no other chromium based browser that supports custom css, so I have no choice but to use Vivaldi.

        I’ve run Vivaldi for a long time, and experienced the polar opposite… Vivaldi for me runs butter smooth 🧈
