Not a problem in Vivaldi, you can install even pure scripts as extension, without the need of an Userscript Manager, like TamperMonkey or similar. Due to the great amount of features, most extension from the Chrome Store are anyway redundant.

It is for sure delicious, but those who tested, never said it

Agree, it's the problem with closed source, but also easy with FOSS with bad maintenance, even more, because also the hacker can see the source code, without the need to desensamble it. In Vivaldi some of the UI part (5%) is proprietary, but not really closed source in it's sense of meaning, apart it has a continuous maintenance, with snapshot releases and frequent updates, a great community with the participation of the team and beta-testers. Very transparent all this, no space for fishy or shady things.

Vivaldi (a employee owned cooperative from Norway) was since years active against the shady practices of US companies and one of the promotors, along with the Consumer Organisation from Norway and some others, which caused the current EU GDPR law. Nowadays it's needed to promoting European products and services to gain sovereignty from the US hegemony of big corporations. but sadly in browsers there are only three from Europe: Vivaldi (Norway), Mullvad (Sweden) and Konqueror (KDE, Germany), the other one, UR (France) is dead since a lot of years.

Mullvad is maybe the most private browser after TOR, but apart of this not much more, Sync with Mozilla account which is a no-go for me. Konqueror, based on the KHTML engine (Grandfather of Blink and WebKit) is Linux desktop only, interesting features, but few extensions and somewhat limited. Well, end of the choices.

Even EDGE is a ungoogled Chromium (but containing M$ tracking APIs instead). Vivaldi IS a degoogled Chromium, a small part of the UI (by far the most advanced one of any other browser) is proprietary, but not really obfuscated, they show even in the support forum how the user can modding it, if for him isn't enough what he can do in the most complete setting page ever, the only thing is, you can't use it for other browser projects. It's certainly not a privacy or security issue.

Chromium as is, is 100% FLOSS but because of this isn't more private or secure as a proprietary soft, FLOSS isn't automaticly synonym of privacy and security, a lot of people confuse it, it's not the propósit of OpenSource, privacy and security of an soft depends only of the intentions of the developer or company, not if their soft is OSS or not. The user can audit the soft, which in any case is needed if he don't want or be able to check millons of lines in the code which a complex soft like a browser engine has.

Works by the skin color, I suppose, more dark greater the possibility of an terrorist or worse, a communist. To keep America clean and hetero WASP

They are always Heisenberg Cats, it's impossible to know their location in any moment (well, except if there is any cardboard box near)

Too many MAGA assholes and bootlickers out there, good for Canada and Spain to show them the middle finger

A human has 46 chromosomes, a potato 48, this also explains some things.

Insomnium is one of my most favorite bands, but certainly its hard for an nordic Metalband in a country where are at least 5-6 good Metalbands in every little village.

The melodeath metal band Insomnium didn't act in the Covid pandemy, because their guitarrist was working in the creation of vaccines.
