Firefox is controlled opposition practically owned by Google. Follow the money. Ladybird seems to be the only hope, once available.
I heard Mozilla described as "Google's antitrust lawsuit insurance." That doesn't really seem relevant these days though. Although I guess duopolies are totally fine.

#172Is mouse support in Vivaldi still broken?
I have no idea what this is about, but this comment sounds like it was posted from the 90s. Do we also need to compile an extension to support playing *.wav files in it? Sorry, couldn't resist... :)

#173Every time I try use Vivaldi I encounter how incredibly slow the UI is. Are all Vivaldi users running it on specced out desktops? Or is it just ao lineux UI latency issue?

#177Guys use Vivaldi. It's a present. A browser that has a sustainable business model and interests that reconcile with the user interests - consume the web as god intended, with no literally aids and cancer ads out of the box.
