@qgustavor @jcrabapple @notmybackdoorbug @Vivaldi, not so strong, main influence in Chromium browsers by Google is in the Chrome Store because now with Mv3 descaffeinated Adblockers where Mv3 is deadly, but irrelevant for Vivaldi due to the own inbuild ad/trackerblocker out of the influence by Google. Other extensions mostly not needed and irrelevant if Mv2 or Mv3, others from the store are directly redundant due own inbuild features.

Vivaldi is based on Chromium, but degoogled apart some APIs as options in the settings. It has less relations with Google than Moilla.
You can even install additional features with scripts direct as extension, if you want, without the need of an userscript manager, also out of the Google influence.

Vivaldi isn't like other Chromiums.

@Catweazle @qgustavor @jcrabapple @Vivaldi It's still Chromium, so Google can kill it off when it wants.

So not good enough.

Google can't kill an OpenSource project and less Chromium, because it will kill himself, apart of a lot of big problems with big companies, eg.Microsoft.
This will be the biggest kick in the ass of Google in all his history and probably the end of Google.

No, It is much more likely that Blink is going to be the standard on the web and the only survivor.

That Mozilla with Gecko is in full decline is becoming more and more evident, it has not been able to become a standard following a marginal engine that practically no company or group uses.

The same will happen with WebKit, which no one outside of Apple uses and even now Apple is forced, for the moment in the EU, to also support browsers with a different engine.

It's the law of the market and standards where in the end there can only be one left and this will be Blink sooner or later, yes or yes.

This is the power of Google, the web and it is there where with its APIs it has influences on most websites and its services anyway where it dictates its rules, not on Chromium itself.
