Vivaldi is still Chrome under the hood

[โ€“] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Its unrealistic for Vivaldi to implement their own engine, and gecko is noticably slower.

Yeah but it offers so much more control and features than vanilla Chrome and it does not ping back to the mothership.

Don't listen to the haters, kids. Vivaldi rocks.
