"But... but... Vivaldi Browser is not FOSS."

I do not care. I care, whether my browser will help protest me against ads or is it part of the problem. As established, since Firefox is now owned and managed by an advertising company, Mozilla, Brave, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome are part of the problem.

While there may no longer be a pure, perfect browser company that is opposed to ads (since Chromium has won the browser wars), Vivaldi still offers the better experience, since it includes an ad blocker, which you as a company, cannot pay to circumvent (Brave, for example), while also working with other ad blockers, such as uBlock and Privacy Badger, for example.

That means Vivaldi Browser is the better alternative, or as some would call it, the lessor evil, when all your choices are only evil.

FOSS, does not make something automatically better. There are computer viruses which are FOSS, and surely that does not make them great. Nor does it make a web browser great that it is FOSS, yet part of the advertising network, requiring most sensible people to need an ad blocker in the 1st place.
