    Vivaldi? Trusting a closed sourced application for privacy? What?

    Not even defending brave here, just weird that the author say that.

        I’ve run Vivaldi for a long time, and experienced the polar opposite… Vivaldi for me runs butter smooth 🧈

      I never understand why people prefer Vivaldi over, let’s say, Chrome. I personally use FF with hardened security, but if I had no chance, I’d rather give my data to Google, not a browser company with an unknown business model and bloat.

      Vivaldi is weird, I once talked with their CEO over on Mastodon (they are active there, which is a good sign, probably), it still felt shady, sadly.

        I use Vivaldi exclusive for the tab stacks. As soon as another browser has tab stacks (preferably more than 2 levels) I’ll switch.

          Arc might have what you need. I have not heard about it before until today but it looks interesting. https://arc.net/

            It appears to be available only on MacOS, with no plan for Linux yet. It does sound like something to keep an eye on, thanks.

              Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

              Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

              I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

        Because Vivaldi has a ton of power user features that Chrome lacks

        There is no other chromium based browser that supports custom css, so I have no choice but to use Vivaldi.
