Now I only need full ublock origin support on android and it’s golden.
You can add the block lists manually via Vivaldi’s built in blocker feature
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/tree/master/filters
Sadly that doesn’t work as good as ublock, especially for adblock blocker blocking.
There are some websites that just don’t work with that setup.
You already can have that :) Ironfox (Firefox Librewolf-style android fork) is the easiest option (uBlock origin integrated), but you can also use the normal firefox browser with full extension support.
Firefox (and thus also the forks) is missing a couple features since the rewrite 5 years ago. The biggest one for me is lack of keyboard shortcuts.
Also it becomes painfully slow on some more complex websites and dark reader is not nearly as good as the dark mode in Vivaldi.
Because of that I only use FF on websites that don’t work on Vivaldi.
lack of keyboard shortcuts
What keyboard shortcuts are missing from FF?
On Android? All of them. There are no keyboard shortcuts at all on FF for Android.
How are you using a keyboard in a browser on Android? I didn’t use keyboard since BlackBerry KEY.

Also, with the coming merger of ChromeOS and Android, there will suddenly be tons of Android users with keyboards.
You’re actually using one? I saw similar project (or this one) some time ago. I also found BB10 keyboards modified to just act as USB keyboard and even tried to buy one but the supply was very limited and they would be gone in a matter of hours. And I have zero experience with JLCPCBs. And all phones are so big now that attaching extra keyboard to them wouldn’t be that practical. I would kill for a modern N900 type phone.
Sounds like all you gotta do is wait then, since your hyper-niche scenario will become a lot less niche once that happens.
Not open source, but apparently not fully closed source either: https://vivaldi.com/source/.
Opera was bought by a Chinese firm years ago. I’m not saying to use it or not based solely on that; it’s just something to keep in mind. That being said, they do have some legitimately useful features, like being able to cap the amount of RAM used with a slider. But yeah, I remember the sale raising some eyebrows.Correct but irrelevant. Vivaldi isnt part of opera at all. They have the old devs that left when opera sold. That’s it.
Vivaldi is separate from Opera, it’s devs who left Opera after it was purchased
Thank you for the new knowledge; I thought this whole time that Opera was renamed Vivaldi after the sale. That explains my original comment.
wish they would change to gecko though
“Keep browsing, human!”
NGL, Vivaldi is the best version of Chrome.
If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.
So they didn’t really make a stand.
They are selling a product that’s just chrome with a fancy skin. The only stance they have is praising google and lying to it’s users claiming to be better
