You're right, or at least mostly right. About 5% of Vivaldi's code is closed. Yes, I understand that people don't like that, but the point of Vivaldi is to be Opera if it had continued to follow the original vision of what Opera was. If they're gonna stay on that course and be able to earn a living doing it, then I understand if they feel the need to keep some of it secret. I support open source, but among the vast amount of browsers I've tried, Vivaldi was the only one that truly sang to me after Firefox decided to go evil corpo. If people want to get their pitchforks and downvote me to oblivion for that, that's fine.
If Librewolf didn’t exist I might agree with you.
