this could end up as an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if it becomes the primary client that people use. but vivaldi is pretty niche and they open-source most components, so that makes it less likely
I would have switched to Vivaldi years ago if the whole thing was open source, but there's no way in good consciousness I can support a closed source browser
