      The enshittification of Opera sucks… I used to like them when they had their own Presto rendering engine. I heard Vivaldi is the spiritual successor, but it, too, is based on Chromium.

        Vivaldi isn’t just the spiritual successor, it’s built by the guy who made the original Opera. Its baked in Ad and Tracker blocking rival UBO and it has all the features Fox can only hope to barely emulate with Mozilla extensions.

        I’ve got FF loaded up and set up how I like, but I won’t be switching over until Vivaldi doesn’t perform correctly.

          Vivaldi

          So re-badged Chromium with closed source changes. Dependent on the upstream chromium. Doesnt seem like a good idea to me.

            How do you know it’s dependent? Cant anyone make a fork of the engine?

              It isnt a fork though, its just built on top of. Which is probably smarter than a fork, they dont have to do all that other work. It is interesting that the web hints and the user agent now say Chrome in the vavaldi reporting. At least I think it did: search for “what is my user agent” and it will tell you.

                I’m not sure I did exactly what you intended but I searched it in the address/search bar and it gives me this output.

                    At first I thought I did it wrong, since I got an output for basically every browser engine on the market. Does the order matter? I’m just a network engineer I don’t know much about systems beyond building hardware and installing/managing Windows and some PnP Linux Distros.
