@elduvelle @thibaultamartin I don't really get your point. Vivaldi is closed source -- we don't see any reassurances that it is closed source from Vivaldi developers -- indeed, they obfuscate and claim that they are actually open source somehow.
(We have always been at war with eastasia)
Yes, Mozilla is moving towards AI, but they still produce one of two production ready alternatives to Chromium - and is actually open source.
Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

@yoasif @thibaultamartin They don't seem to obfuscate anything, instead like I said they say in one of the links in the thread I linked (did you read it?) that, yes, there is some closed-source code in their code and they explain why. Edit: this is the link: https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/why-isnt-vivaldi-browser-open-source/ Personally I'd rather use a program that is closed source but does what I want than one that's open source but forces things on me that I don't want. But of course everyone is allowed to have different priorities :)
