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.

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.
