Switching the engine in a browser IS developing the browser from scratch, the team had worked over 4 Years in Vivaldi for iOS, because it needed to work with WebKit, due the restrictions of Apple, and this despite WebKit is way more related to Blink than Gecko. Vivaldi is a small Emloyee owned cooperative, with less than 40 devs for 6 different OS (Windows, Linux,MacOS, iOS, Androit and Android Auto). apart the activism for a free internet, together with DDG, Proton, different consumer organizations and legislators, recently also with Mozilla, which until now has remained somewhat passive due to its relationship with Google.
