@Vivaldi Is Vivaldi technologies still a private corporation? Still no venture money owed? On other words, what's their governance? Vivaldi, and opera before it, technology wise are/were good. The CEO seems in line with good things. But we've been to parties like this before. I do trust their intent, and I'm not cynical about that. But things are often wrested away from the original founders. What in their government structure is novel, and intends to subvert that common path? It's a difficult path, maybe not even possible with a corporation. I don't know enough.

@tomjennings @Vivaldi I think I understand where you are coming from, and if you don't want to use it. Don't! This is a fork of Google Chrome. Firefox & Edge are the other main browsers. There are many forks of those too. If you connect the dots, those 3 main browsers control how these forks can be used. Take your worries further down the food chain. Vivaldi is a perfectly fine Chrome fork and works as good, if not better than most Chrome forked browsers. Been my main Chromium browser for years.

@mrgrumpymonkeyIt's not a purity-test question; is a genuine ask. GOVERNANCE MATTERS. Technical sweetness doesn't matter to me really at all. Can I be reasonably assured I will be able to trust it in the future?It's a skeptical question, not a cynical one. I even bother to ask because it IS a good browser, yr CEO has a good track record, and we desperately need trustworthy core programs. @Vivaldi

@tomjennings @Vivaldi No external investors, no. https://vivaldi.com/company/@jon is the venture capital, using the money from when he was squished out of Opera Software back in the days.Vivaldi is written by a nice bunch of people, many being my old colleagues back from Opera Software.

@tomjennings @mrgrumpymonkey We understand the concerns, but we are a proudly employee-owned company with 0 external investors, and that's the way it will remain. We build the browser we want to use, listening to our users. Plain and simple! :tony_normal: https://vivaldi.com/for-a-better-web/
