        Not exactly “stole”; the author was fine about the code being used in this way. What they were upset about is the lack of attribution and communication.

            The license was Apache 2.0, and there was a tiny bit of attribution…just enough to cover the license requirements.

      On Windows 10 too. I always just download from the website or store but I recently experienced the pretty fun of updating my apps over CLI for some reason

      Which is something you will need to do to not accept their privacy invasive terms and conditions that you have to accept before using the bloated data harvesting browser.

        great solution. instead of Chrome or MS-Chrome, you install V-Chrome. Such a big difference! It really is a completely new theme for Chrome, isn’t it? Oh and they have a built-in adblocker which is far less capable than uBlock Origin but it is built-in! isn’t that great?

          It’s not just skin. If it was just like any other Chromium based browser I wouldn’t bother but there isn’t any browser that has great features like Vivaldi which makes working with multiple tabs a breeze. And they don’t collect any telemetry either. Not even crash logs.

          Plus, you can say pretty much that every browser with built-in adblock is worse than uBlock Origin… That’s not the point…

          Functionally speaking, Vivaldi is more different than chrome than Firefox is.
