   Some of our browser competitors are all in on Crypto. We are not.

   You can read about why below.

     @jon I appreciate this and that Vivaldi won’t have a built in crypto wallet that nobody asked for.

     @jon Now you just need to fork away from Chromium so things like Manifest V3 and other Google stuff can get written out of the codebase.

     @RandamuMaki

     It is not realistic for us to do that. There would be security issues in Chromium and for us to make sure we get fixes to those security issues would become harder and harder.

     At Opera we had 100 maintaining Presto. That is more than twice the size of our team. We would need more than that now.

     @jon Would it be in the realm of possibilities to have a Vivaldi Gecko someday?
