    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.

        I use Vivaldi exclusive for the tab stacks. As soon as another browser has tab stacks (preferably more than 2 levels) I’ll switch.

            It appears to be available only on MacOS, with no plan for Linux yet. It does sound like something to keep an eye on, thanks.

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