This includes the entire Servo team which was working on its next generation web engine that was supposed to be Firefox’s ticket to staying afloat in the future. Servo also popularized the Rust language afaik

Aside from Servo, they also axed the entire threat management team, because why would a browser need threat detection and incident response, amirite?

I used Vivaldi for a month when FF75 came out.

Then Lichess broke and I found a userChrome hack that fixed the address bar.

Vivaldi works mostly great but is proprietary and I reaaaally don’t want to use a proprietary browser, especially a blink one
