I would rather see people use Firefox than Vivaldi. We need a more diverse browser engine market to keep the web open. More here: https://better-tech.eu/web/article/switch-browsers/

    We definitely do, but it's a tall order considering making a fully functional and daily usable browser engine is one of the most difficult programming projects to under take

    At least we got Ladybird with its brand new from scratch engine coming up though! (In 2028....)

    It's absolutely not a simple thing, but if we let the web turn into Chrome-only then Ladybird doesn't stand a chance. For now, more market share for Firefox and Firefox-based browsers is the only argument against making websites only work in Chrome.

    I can't get behind a browser built from scratch with C, not Rust, considering how integral browsers are to security these days. Plus there's the whole controversy around their pronouns and politics in coding stances.
