Vivaldi is not open-source. No matter how good the intentions of current Vivaldi leadership, without the source you're forever the hostage.@Turre @luc0x61 @booboo @eniko @EUCommission i don't care. Ipensourceness is just a bonus for me, features over opensourceness. Most projects end up with no relevant fork and an owner that decide to reject features they don't see fit

@flyingpenguin @eniko @anthrazit
1. so again, closed source except the google controlled part.
2. these three parts are not equal. google controlling the engine gives them a lot of control over the implementation of web standards -- and not least, as we've seen with the manifest v2 deprecation, over what kind of browser extensions are viable.

Bad idea.
The EU commission woul build spyware into it to supply intelligence to Israel.
And it would ban Palestinians and Iranians from using it, because of zionist sanctions.
Why?
Because the EU is a zionist tool.
The answer is to free Firefox, not to swap abusive owner.

@eniko @EUCommission Oh btw @servo is kind of that, it's based entirely in the EU and is supported by the Linux Foundation, it's made from the ground-up in Rust, no other browser engine!
@webbop @eniko @EUCommission @servo but rust is AI these days

@eniko @EUCommission No, thanks. Firefox should be an Asian or African browser, since most iconic European companies were killed by European '"protectionism".

[citation needed]@dzwiedziu @eniko @EUCommission the EU over-regulates its own industry to death, making it impossible to compete. That's why traditional European brands either moved to B2B or went extinct, leaving the consumer market wide open for Chinese companies.

@eniko @EUCommission I've repeatedly (alas not with much reach) advocated for this.
The open Internet of today needs would need a free browser - and a free mobile OS.

I've asked for citations, as in concrete examples.If you're only into scaremongering with “regulations” then I'm done here and temp-muting you.
P.S. Check why Germany has a TÜV in China, or why France bans many Chinese products, or why we don't import food from the USA, then you'll know what regulations are for.

@eniko @anthrazit you should maybe check on that https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser-vs-google-chrome/
@flyingpenguin @eniko @anthrazit I mean it would probably better to have a fully separated browser stack from Chromium.
Sure Vivaldi is probably on one of the most "distinct" chromium forks but it's still ultimately dependent on Google for like 90% of their stack.

@alexia @EUCommission @eniko @wyatt_h_knott Also might be a bit too niche for non-technical users. Doubt the average person understands anti-fingerprinting.
