> Vivaldi CEO Jon von Tetzchner told The Register, "When we ask our users whether they want AI, the answer is a pretty clear no."

Vivaldi has been much more merciful than Mozilla recently. But it's true that Vivaldi might even benefit from going open-source (there are so many little bugs in mail and calendar!) When it comes to big decisions, firefox being open did not help us, apparently

@chebra @mozilla @Veddu @jon There is no way I will ever consider a proprietary browser. I’d take Chrome over Vivaldi for the only reason that I can build it from source. If Google makes their browser open source and then Vivaldi takes it and makes it proprietary, that doesn’t speak well for them at all.

@js but you aren't actually building your browser from source, are you? I definitely do that for small open-source projects, but building chromium is a totally different matter. I mean that chromium being open-source is just a PR stunt, like a tobacco company sponsoring a youth football club. Google can force anything on us anyway, they hold the web rules hostage.
