Also from Jamie Zawinski yesterday: Mozilla's Original Sin

Some will tell you that Mozilla's worst decision was to accept funding from Google, and that may have been the first domino, but I hold that implementing DRM is what doomed them, as it led to their culture of capitulation. It demonstrated that their decisions were the decisions of a company shipping products, not those of a non-profit devoted to preserving the open web.

Those are different things and are very much in conflict. They picked one. They picked the wrong one.

I would definitely use Vivaldi if it wasn't Chromium-based, but it is so a no-go from me.

@watson387 Isn't Chromium, in an open-source way and far away from Google, a good choice?

I don't support Google's web takeover so I don't want to use their browser, open-source or not.
