Then I hope you'll also build it by yourself.
Most software I use is not built and packaged by the person who wrote it.
Vivaldi is however, as large parts of it are proprietary.

Ah yes, parent was saying that he hopes you'll build yourself if source is released in response to grandparent asking for sourcecode. So if it'd go open-source I still wouldn't be building it myself.

This has not been my experience. Firefox Android is perfectly functional, fast, and blocks ads too.
It's "functional" but has too many caveats that make it a pain to use on a daily basis.
