Please reopen https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/2206 (more recent) or https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/pull/717 , since no one has said a why not to include it. I have researched Vivaldi, and have written up my findings in this article and I don't see a why not to include it.

The only thing that has been said is that it is closed source, and this issue is explained by Vivaldi here.

Ridiculous excuses. Even if there is 0.00001% closed source code, it is still impossible to recommend this browser.

All yes, which basically sums down to "We use open source code in our closed source browser, so it's ok"

By that logic iOS should be recommended since it uses open source parts in its closed source OS.

Give me a break, come back when we can have fully reproducable builds of it, like we do for firefox

@KosmoEskudo please don't comment on every thread with Vivaldi in it. It isn't helpful. I appreciate the work that you have putten into this, however we won't be listing Vivaldi in the near future.
