Good software is good software.

Firefox is open source, but it includes adware, spyware, and artificial intelligence (AI), while being owned by an ad company. Brave is open source, but it too includes adware, spyware, AI, plus cryptocurrency, while being owned by an ad company. Both of them call out like a lost child or puppy. There are viruses that are also free open source, but they too do not make the world a better place.

Free open-source does not guarantee nor mean something is automaticly better.

Vivaldi, is based on the free open source Chromium project, and while it is true that the GUI is closed source, it does not include AI or cryptocurrency, nor owned by an ad company, and only calls out to 1) check for updates and 2) report bugs.

Good software does not need to be free open source to be good. Nor does close software automatically make something bad.
