@chris @Vivaldi @wordpress Their excuse to keep their UI close-sourced is the reason I don't use it. They don't want anyone to fork and benefit from it, while they have no problems forking and benefiting from other open source projects 🤦‍♂️🙄

"other parties could take the code and build an equivalent browser (essentially a fork) more easily."

They should have used AGPL to force others to contribute. They would get more users looking for an open-source alternative to Chrome.

@viktor @Vivaldi @wordpress That doesn't make sense. They even agree that 90% of their code is taken from open source projects, ie, other peoples time. But the 10% is now supremely special. Rules don't apply. They make money from only the 10% and not the 90% they took.

And a browser that injects referrals into my stuff, well, I am too old school for this to call this cool.
