there’s also something to be said for having a backwards-compatible configuration and history that stretches over 25 years. it’s why i stayed on gecko when switching browser.
Edit: apparently vivaldi is closed-source? huh.
Not really closed source all the way, only aspects of it. It’s still both weird and offputting, but it is slightly different.
By only aspects of it they mean the chromium base. What makes vivaldi not the same as chromium is proprietary
It was my understanding that the closed source part was limited to their visual aspects, as the functional changes they make have to adhere to the licence of chromium. Unless that’s changed; I haven’t looked into it in a couple of years. It’s where their “skin” applies that they keep it proprietary in other words.
What?
