I feel like a version of this guide gets reposted weekly, but it's always out of date.
u/theFallenWalnut over on that other site updates these regularly.
They also now link to !purchasewithpurpose@lemmy.world but I don't see anything posted there. Maybe a better place to start reposting these
You get a lot of cool shit as a Vivaldi user. I have a free 10 GB email address there, free Mastodon account (not that it cost money to begin with, but they have their own mastodon instance for all their users), and just a couple of days ago they introduced free VPN protection through ProtonVPN. It's mostly an ad campaign as you can't select country when connecting to it, but you are tunneled through a vpn that's closest to you out of the "free pool". I suppose if blogging is your passion they have free blogging space as well, so yeah, lots of reasons to like Vivaldi.
But! When manifest v3 gets enforced come June and Vivaldi's adblocker can't perform to the same standard as uBlock Origin, maybe the Vivaldi browser is a dead end?
I’m curious how they get enough money to support all of this?
At one point "brave" and "crypto" seemed to appear in the same sentence too often. Put me off Brave. Everything needs funding, but I don't want in on Ponzis.
