Apology rejected. I'm glad you still enjoy Firefox, but I'm not lying about my experience. So many websites kept breaking constantly, and in extremely bad ways.

Things like, the final step of a 40 page government form failing, and I then need to call them and wait on hold for 90 minutes for them to fix it. Or, payments being charged, but not receiving the product; again having to call support. Or more subtle things, like specific features on websites not working, weird canvas glitches, you get the idea.

In comparison, the amount of problems I've had in Vivaldi is zero, compared to daily. I cannot recommend Firefox to average users anymore. I think using Firefox is admirable, but it's increasingly similar to trying to play games on Linux without Proton. Good luck.

I have not ever had any of those issues you're describing, but it sucks that that happened to you. (If it actually did and you're not just some paid troll to poison public opinion)

You got me. My code of honour dictates that if someone correctly calls me out, I must acknowledge it. I was paid A$10,000.00 by Vivaldi themselves to spread discord and lies on Lemmy, the most popular social media platform; for maximum outreach.

I had to take the money, though. I deeply wanted to reject it, but I had to. My pet unicorn needs rainbow replacement surgery, and my magical beasts insurance wouldn't cover it. I can't go on in a world without Captain Sparkles.

I can only hope the community will forgive me one day. I'll build my renowned reputation back up, brick by brick.
