Creator says fairly fucked up things online, effectively a “dog whistle” gathering right aligned attention and money- and a quite a lot of it.

Begins hiring similarly minded people, claiming “the money will be spent” on the distro

All of it wreaks of BS.

I’ve been asking myself if we’d survive this for years.

FFS, every day a new low. Every time they hit bedrock they find a way to go lower.

It’s more complicated than that. I’ll spare you, but I recommend the forks of Firefox like Librewolf, Floorp, etc.

I’d been a Vivaldi user for a while too but the latest version killed Ublock Origin, so sad to say the browser is now dead to me.
