That article reads like pure FUD to me.

Not quite, I mean you can see the writing on the wall, I foresee that our next release might come with something like Chromium or maybe even Brave.

Vivaldi is owned by its employees. And we plan to keep it that way.

Having no external investors gives us the freedom to listen to our users and, together with them, build the browser they deserve. We don´t track you and we will never sell your data.
No offense to anyone, but in my opinion, Google is evil and Opera is now nothing more than a Google clone. If Firefox fails, or becomes much more of a pita to turn off all their spammy crap, then something with the philosophy of Vivaldi would be my replacement.

ymmv...

Sorry Adrian, didn't see that at first. Never heard of Brave before, but it also seems to be [a clone of / based on] Chromium.
Chromium is a free and open-source software project from Google.
So, personally, I'll skip Brave as well...

Go back to my 286 with DR-DOS and lynx.

That was a joke!

On MX we'll have plenty of choices. No worries.

Continue with Chrome and wait for a new group to salvage the pieces, fork the project, and launch a new streamlined version.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

I trust Vivaldi. I was using Opera for many years but since these chinese companies took over it I don't fully trust it anymore.
