@jon@social.vivaldi.net You're persuasive enough that I'm willing to give it another shot since Firefox's management has went all in on A.I. Like I said, I had nothing against your browser other than its choice of engine when I switched back to Firefox.

I understand that you have technical reasons for having chosen it, but I think you misjudged the impact of that choice from a cultural/social standpoint with respect to Vivaldi's most likely users.

@driusan

Glad you will give it a try. I hope you like it.

You are right. It is quite possible more users would move our way if we were based on Gecko. It just felt like a dangerous move and one we could not afford to get wrong.

I think we can play an important role in the Chromium community. Opera did play an important role at the W3C. We had more people contributing to the Web standards than anyone else. A strong Vivaldi can play an important role in Chromium, but we need to grow a bit first.
