@jon@social.vivaldi.net @Ketakater@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Thank you for the reply, appreciated.
While Mozilla's funding is rather non-diverse, wouldn't Gecko still be a notably smaller reliance (more like dependence) on Google?

@richlv@mastodon.social @Ketakater@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net I would say that the reliance is just different. For us we are trying to do the best we can. We evaluated the options available to us and we found Chromium to be the best one for us, where we can make the most difference over time. It was not an easy decision and I would have preferred for us to have our own codebase written from scratch, but that is just not realistic. Every other codebase we had to choose between had risks and we felt Chromium was the least risky, base d on our own experience of writing the code from scratch and our experience competing in the browser market.
