    Vivaldi

    So re-badged Chromium with closed source changes. Dependent on the upstream chromium. Doesnt seem like a good idea to me.

        It isnt a fork though, its just built on top of. Which is probably smarter than a fork, they dont have to do all that other work. It is interesting that the web hints and the user agent now say Chrome in the vavaldi reporting. At least I think it did: search for “what is my user agent” and it will tell you.

          I’m not sure I did exactly what you intended but I searched it in the address/search bar and it gives me this output.

          “Your user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/6.1.3035.257”

              At first I thought I did it wrong, since I got an output for basically every browser engine on the market. Does the order matter? I’m just a network engineer I don’t know much about systems beyond building hardware and installing/managing Windows and some PnP Linux Distros.

      Hah you beat me to it. That’s why I said “spiritual,” because it’s still Chromium under the hood.
