I’m actually trying it out as my daily driver for a week or so trying to answer that exact question. I’ve got Pihole on my network so it won’t be a true test of Vivaldi alone, but I can say with the weaker Manifest V3 version of uBlock and whatever Vivaldi has built in, I’ve been satisfied. Granted, it’s just been a day, but I tried my damnedest to get some YouTube ads to appear with no success.

I absolutely do. I’ve often dreamed of setting up a forum for my immediate friend group but I don’t think the idea would get a lot of traction.

I don’t really have a lot of reason to believe that this will happen, but I wish Mozilla would back off the AI nonsense. I don’t want to switch browsers. I think Vivaldi is actually very cool and is my go-to any time a site is misbehaving in FF, but not being FOSS is a big bummer to me.

That said, Vivaldi’s built-in web panel feature is SO nice!!
