Finally, #Vivaldi accepts donations. I wrote to @jon about this years ago ("shut up and take my money!") but was sent to their T-Shirt shop instead. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine shirt, even if it's washed out by now.

They are a bunch of idealists, but staying independent with their business model is a hard task and not cheap.

And I still hope they will make the thing fully free software one day.

"Donation" is well hidden, you can find it here: login.vivaldi.net/profile/dona

They walked away from big money when highly dubious investors came in at #Opera.

Instead of remaining silent and abandoning their principles, they said "fuck you", walked away and started something new. While I definitely prefer free software, I feel sympathy for that courage.

Look at what Opera turned out to become. With it's built in #crypto currency, #AI force feeding, full scale #telemetry and other crap. Pretty much what they (now #Vivaldi people) warned about back then.

...now compare that to some of the priorities of the Vivaldi people: End-to-End encrypted profile synchronization among all devices, #Fediverse integration, working around googles chromium bullshit, opt-in philosophy, etc...
