A few months back, I announced that I was leaving the @Vivaldi browser and going back to Firefox full time. The reasoning was that as a uBlock user, I was concerned that uBlock would stop working, at some point, with Vivaldi since it's Chromium based. Well, leaving Vivaldi was a mistake. I see that now. The folks at Mozilla are absolutely clueless as to what their users really want in a browser. They made the decision to end some services so they could focus on AI in Firefox, and this is only one issue of so many.
The small team at Vivaldi know and understand what users want in a browser and they are constantly building and adding these features all the time. Do I wish that Vivaldi was 100% Open Source? Of course! But I can look past this because the team at Vivaldi are awesome, the community is awesome, and they are building a browser that users want. It's really this simple. Oh, and with Vivaldi, Linux isn't a second-class citizen. For me, as a 30+ year user of Linux, this is hugely important. And for this reason, they deserve my support.
