     @lunaticatlarge @Vivaldi I think the browser itself is open source. It is the interface that is not. That is because they do a lot of unique things to make it so insanely customizable. The Vivaldi team has been very open about it and I appreciate their candor. I think they have earned my trust until I'm proven otherwise. I'll take the four-fifths of a loaf rather than seeking out the perfect thing.

     @Vivaldi If Vivaldi were to have a sync feature like FF does, and be opensource, I'd move over in a flash. As it sits now, Vivaldi is a backup browser. I use it as a "second opinion " browser should something look odd in another one.

     @Flaky @Vivaldi I've been using Zen too, as I'm a heavy user of both workspaces and containers, and that gives me both - but I'm liking the ability to switch profiles in Vivaldi as a replacement for the latter. I think Vivaldi also announced they would resist MV3, but I could be wrong.

     @Vivaldi I've been using Zen since there are extensions I use that don't want to go for MV3 (LibRedirect if you're wondering). Vivaldi is still my backup tho.

     Genuinely, though, thank you for what you do and sticking with your principles where Mozilla hasn't. :blobfoxheart:

     @Flaky @Vivaldi That makes sense. And I'm impressed with the Servo project more as it stands today! I'm hopeful.

     @MediaActivist @Vivaldi I've heard something but I'm not sure either. I think the issue is maintaining the Chromium codebase for something like that.

     Firefox funnily enough has a similar problem, which is why Firefox gets forked directly and people aren't just embedding Gecko into the browser.

     This was probably why Mozilla started Servo, but we know what happened there...

     @MediaActivist @Vivaldi Yup! It's got a ways to go, still, but nonetheless I'm glad it's around and independent from Mozilla now, especially with how Mozilla's been acting lately.
