I’m trialling it already as my main browser. I like it.

Vivaldi, because it is available everywhere, has cross-platform tab syncing, ad-blocking, and a tab bar on Android.

The thing is, as we learned with Netflix (and… everything lately), even if it starts off convenient and reasonable, that will last only long enough that they think they’ve cornered the market. So unless something changes to guarantee an ongoing reasonable proposition, i will never trust them again.

It’s fine for people to choose this as one pathway for additional income, i just wish it were always a completely free choice, whereas in many situations it seems a little too much of a last resort or derived from particular pressure, which feels… I just feel it’s disappointing it’s seen as almost necessary in those situations. Olympic athletes should not have financial issues like that, or feel forced to give up their privacy (if he does indeed feel forced, but it comes across that way in some regards). Anyway, he presents it as positive in his eyes, so I hope that’s true.
