Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human

  tl;dr they’re not using AI for obvious reasons

  We will not use an LLM to add a chatbot, a summarization solution or a suggestion engine to fill up forms for you, until more rigorous ways to do those things are available.

  Vivaldi is the haven for people who still want to explore. We will continue building a browser for curious minds, power users, researchers, and anyone who values autonomy. If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.

    A position on AI says next to nothing about one's stance on humanity, right?

    Even Mozilla doesn’t really want Gecko anymore, that’s why they started Servo.

  So they didn’t really make a stand.

    They are selling a product that’s just chrome with a fancy skin. The only stance they have is praising google and lying to it’s users claiming to be better

      “Selling”?

  Now I only need full ublock origin support on android and it’s golden.

    You can add the block lists manually via Vivaldi’s built in blocker feature

      Sadly that doesn’t work as good as ublock, especially for adblock blocker blocking.

      There are some websites that just don’t work with that setup.

    You already can have that :) Ironfox (Firefox Librewolf-style android fork) is the easiest option, but you can also use the normal firefox browser with full extension support.

      Firefox (and thus also the forks) is missing a couple features since the rewrite 5 years ago. The biggest one for me is lack of keyboard shortcuts.

      Also it becomes painfully slow on some more complex websites and dark reader is not nearly as good as the dark mode in Vivaldi.

      Because of that I only use FF on websites that don’t work on Vivaldi.
