it's minimalistic (you basically need just a hook and some yarn)

and I also want to remind you that it is pure magic

My point being, Vivaldi is a web browser. Not a "Chromium fork". There are other Chromium-based web browsers, most of them are rather bad and somehow worse than Chrome itself, but _they are different_. In fact, there is significantly more variety between Chromium-based browsers _than between […]

People keep asking why is everything Chromium, but what they should be asking is why is a browser engine maintained by a for-profit anti-privacy mega-corporation easier to build upon than the one by _checks notes_ actually nevermind, i'm not sure anymore.

Client: we need a disaster recovery plan.
Me: sure, let me just do some upgrades I've been putting off.

I knew a few people who worked at Mozilla in ‘good times’ and Twitter ‘after’ and they all said Mozilla on a regular day was a much more confusing and toxic org. I think Mozilla will go down in history as the one that squandered every opportunity and chased the wrong thing

if a microwave meal says you gotta put it in for 2.5 minutes and then stir it and then put it in for another 2.5 you don't have to listen to them. put that shit in for 5 minutes. their directions are just a ploy by Big Get Up to sell you more Up

Turns out I've been using Vivaldi for a month and yeah I love it actually. Plenty of rough edges and obscure features, but the features are there and work.
