  • The VPN is not its own. Vivaldi partnered with Proton VPN. The company always offered free servers at unlimited bandwidth. So all the appreciation goes to Proton. Also, when you are clicking on the VPN, it auto-installs the ProtonVPN extension from the Webstore and says you need to sign in. I mean, it’s not too hard to search and install ProtonVPN from the webstore. For me, that VPN icon does not look like a wonderful thing done by Vivaldi.

    no matter how many controls it gave. Everything always feels half-baked. For example, why can’t Vivaldi read web page contents like Edge does?










  • I don’t have any issue with Firefox trying to make some money by doing such things, but all these features are causing the system to use a lot of RAM too. Once we praised Firefox as being the less memory-hogging browser in Linux, but if it is going this way, not anymore.

    I called it bloatware because nowadays it is filled with bloat features no matter what.

    We said Vivaldi is closed source just because they didn’t publish some part (the unique design) of their code.

    We call Brave Bloat because of its crypto stuff.

    Now Firefox has promotional links, suggestions, tracking stuff, etc.; then why not call Firefox a bloatware?

    By the way, if the contract with Google ended, then why is the default search engine still Google? Also, what is perplexity doing there?
