Well the thing is, in this case Jason Arday was targeted by the British media via a compaign orchestrated by a “source” with known funding from Peter Thiel. So I’m afraid this is very much linked to the American cesspit.

My real issue is as a dev of a web application, using Firefox makes things occasionally render differently. It’s only once in a blue moon but enough to make me just accept using Vivaldi to be closer to the defacto user experience.

What about vivaldi sucked for you?
