I am tempted to start using the @Vivaldi browser but then I looked* at the diversity in the underlying technology and I think it is better to promote and start using @firefox :firefox: more.

Or should we leave it to #Google :omya_google: and #Apple :apple_inc: only❓

I'm curious 😅 @Vivaldi why not use SpiderMonkey and Gecko❓

Technically only Firefox is fully open source, the rest of the list has a lot of proprietary bits (for example all of the UI, or the account system) that don't allow you to compile your own browser
