@lea @marialeal gotta love drama between the okay browser and insufferable closed source chromium slopware

@lea @marialeal @asm vivaldi is especially bad because they brand themselves like an open source, privacy focused option, and then deliver nothing but a ui reskin and a disappointing builtin feed reader / mail client

@hearts @lea @asm @marialeal but at least it's not chrome, edge, opera or brave

@joshix @hearts @lea @asm @marialeal it literally IS chrome.

@solonovamax @hearts @lea @asm @marialeal no

@solonovamax @lea @asm @marialeal @joshix what do you mean "no"? it's the same underlying technology

@hearts @lea @solonovamax @asm @marialeal yes, both are based on chromium. But that doesn't make them the same.

Vivaldi has open source changes and a proprietary ui on top of chromium.
Google Chrome has proprierary changes on top of chromium.

@joshix @hearts @lea @solonovamax @marialeal they're equally unverifiable, we have no way of knowing whether the proprietary parts include something intrusive or rancid
Show threadJoshixFeb 26
@asm @hearts @lea @solonovamax @marialeal iirc the proprierary stuff in vivaldi is just some js/html/css which kinda is verifiable

@joshix @hearts @lea @asm @marialeal same difference.

they are still both chromium based so share the fundamental characteristics of chromium.
