Mozilla thing sure seems blown way out of fucking proportion but have fun everyone switching to Chrome in a different hat I guess

@stevestreza I’ve switched to #Vivaldi but not just over their ad policy - but over many rudderless choices and their mistreatment of their past CTO.

@tchambers You do you, but it's Chromium, it's still just playing into the Google browser engine monopoly which ultimately does not require you to be using Google Chrome to benefit.
-
@stevestreza Yeah, the whole chromium monoculture is my one issue with Vivaldi. But if you no longer have faith in Mozilla, you have very, very few other routes -- the Vivaldi incarnation of that rendering engine is the best option I've seen.

@tchambers It is impossible to decouple Google from Chromium. Even if Vivaldi disabled every telemetry call, undid every hostile decision, had sane ad blocking support, etc, the hand of Chromium and Google's browser monopoly will still be there. And Google has done far more harm than Mozilla ever has.
So to reject Firefox out of "losing faith in Mozilla" for Chromium implies that "faith in Google" is satisfactory OR is a standard not applied to Google because it's laundered through Vivaldi.
