10 months agoIt’s a little disingenuous so say that “Vivaldi is closed source” and leave it at that. The vast majority of their browser is built on open-source code:

Only a small portion (~5%) of their bespoke UI code is closed. The vast majority of their source is published.
Obviously whether the small portion of the code they withhold is important to you is a matter of your own to decide, but I feel this was important to clarify.
It’s a really good idea to use the “Lists” feature on Mastodon for stuff like this:

I follow a bunch of news that post a ton of content that I don’t want cluttering up my usual home timeline. So, I’ve added them to a “News” list and excluded that list from my home timeline. This way, I can either view the list whenever I wanna scroll through the news or even add an entire separate column on the advanced web interface just showing that list with news that’s separated from home.
I only discovered the Lists feature recently. It’s a gamer-changer.
