I am tempted to start using the @Vivaldi browser but then I looked* at the diversity in the underlying technology and I think it is better to promote and start using @firefox :firefox: more.

Or should we leave it to :omya_google: and :apple_inc: only❓

I'm curious 😅 @Vivaldi why not use SpiderMonkey and Gecko❓

Is it? Vivaldi hides the 5% source code under “performance and security optimisations” reasons, which sounds like complete BS.

Chewy7324,

The term open source includes the right to modify and distribute source code. Only being able to audit code is called source available.

opensource.org/osd/

Yes, Vivaldi is certainly not as closed as Chrome and is privacy respecting while Edge is the opposite. But if we’re strictly talking about open source they aren’t there. If they’d change the license to an open source one I’d probably given it a go a few years ago. Only being source available stopped me.
