why not use vivaldi if you have to use a chromium-based browser

It’s a little disingenuous so say that “Vivaldi is closed source” and leave it at that. The vast majority of their browser is built on open-source code:
vivaldi.com/…/why-isnt-vivaldi-browser-open-sourc…
Only a small portion (~5%) of their bespoke UI code is closed. The vast majority of their source is published.

Well that part is essentially just chromium so that’s why ‘vivaldi’ (as in what makes slightly different being its ui) is essentially closed source. But yeah that distinction is there.

Why Vivaldi?
cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Because it’s fucking awesome. Here’s why I used* to use it:
- Built in email client
- Built in RSS reader.
- Themes and customisable UI (vertical tabs, bottom tags, tab previews, tab stacking)
- Built in ad blocker
- Sidebar with Mastodon, RSS, mail, translate, etc
*I use Floorp now cos I wanna support Mozilla/Firefox by upping the browser share numbers but Vivaldi is the best Chromium-based browser by far.
