That being, it relies on the Chrome Web Store to install extensions. If Google themselves decided not to have something on that store and you’re using it on Vivaldi, well you’re SOL.

Note you can sideload extensions essentially. Google's been fine afaik, but if they did suddenly go crazy it wouldn't be that hard for Vivaldi and other chromium browsers to run their own store.

They should've been running their own store a long time ago. Not wait until Google reaches a line that'll trigger them to.
