   My regularly scheduled post that Vivaldi's @Vivaldi built in RSS reader into their browser app ALONE is reason to switch to their browser.

   (Along with it having a google-proof ad blocker, its being fediverse-friendly, and a good actor for the open web)

     @PeterMotte @Vivaldi Well: so does Mozilla Firefox, etc. I do not fault them for having some ad revenue model -- as long as they let ME control it, and that it is NOT survellience advertising, but just sponsored placement.

     Browsser software development needs funding, and this is the best way I've seen compared to Chrome, etc.

     @PeterMotte @Vivaldi I am a former Firefox user since version 1.0 and though I no longer use it due to disagreement with current management choices, I don’t diss their adding ads like this to the browser…. As long as they are not tracking and optional….Here was the ones I remember that did include Amazon (at least at one point)….

     @tchambers @Vivaldi There is NO group links "shopping" in FF. There is "Firefox Crew Picks", but that does not have things like Amazon. It does have, e.g., Amnesty International.
