I’m looking into Firefox alternatives as I wanna see what’s available. Being Norwegian, Vivaldi seems like a good choice to replace Firefox on desktop and Safari on iOS. Tried it for a night and it works pretty good. I do however have reservations about it being based on Chromium.

How much power does Google actually have over Vivaldi? And would it actually matter for my quest for degoogling myself?

In case anyone’s wondering. I’m also looking into LibreWolf.

Edit: Rewrote the start as people got too hung up on Firefox.

    Whats bad about them? Does it affect Firefox forks like Eaterfox or Midori as well? I’m having good first experience with Midori.

      I dunno how it affects forks, but considering Google’s TOS doesn’t seem to affect other Chromium projects that much. I doubt it’s a big of a deal for FF forks.

      Hell, I’m 99% sure I’m overreacting about Mozilla’s working to begin with. It just made me want to explore alternatives.

      Here’s the quote I’m talking about(it has since been changed)
