What happened to Vivaldi Browser?

Vivaldi Browser is now bundled with Proton VPN. But Proton (the company) is a registered business in the United States.

There are 200 or so independent countries, territories, and states world-wide. But as you know, corporations do not include terms and conditions for all 200 or so geographical jurisdictions. Businesses only include and worry about the jurisdictions that apply to them.

That said, I would much rather let their own legal documentation speak for itself. Here are their terms concerning Proton. It has whole sections concerning US Customers and US Laws. https://proton.me/wallet/terms A company outside Us Law would not care about American laws, anymore than you would likely care about the law in North Korea, for example.

Proton would like to argue, likely from a public relations standing point, that these terms only apply to Proton Wallet. But that is not how our laws work in the United States. You do not get to pick and choose which department is subject to US Law, anymore than you get to pick which Us Laws you want to follow.

I am really disappointed that Vivaldi Browser, would bundle a company, is clearly subject to Us Laws and Us Jurisdiction.

Comparison of Web Browsers (March 2025)

A table comparing the functionalities available in the most-used browsers!

Conclusion:

The results of the comparison aren't as clear in 2025.

Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox are top of the list, with Edge and Brave right behind them.

Chrome and Safari, on the other hand, are the most basic and least customisable options.

The "worst" browsers actually have the highest market shares, probably because they're already preinstalled on iOS and Android.

So, a quick question for the #privacy and browser people. How do you feel about #Vivaldi #VivaldiBrowser as an alternative to #Firefox?

With the fumbling of Mozilla data collection announcements I'm on the hunt for a better browser. I'm also a big fan of the fact that Mozilla have their own rendering engine and I'd love to keep supporting an Open Source Web solution, but... Without the Mozilla-ness of it all.
