every time I see someone going "I finally ditched #firefox and went with this closed source chromium based alternative instead"

all I can think of is

@anthropy Tell me you're talking about Vivaldi without telling me you're talking about Vivaldi... 😛

And yes, very much agreed with the sentiment. Not only is it still Chromium-based, meaning more market share for Google's web engine, thus negating one of the biggest reasons to be using Firefox in the first place, but it's also using proprietary pieces of software of potentially questionable origin.

*sigh*
