Firefox is open-source, and shares the same business model as Vivaldi.
Mozilla has revenue directly from Google search that is keeping the company afloat.
You probably know this. Otherwise you should have asked yourself how they can have offices and employees with no income to the company...
Vivaldi does too.
If Google ever becomes certain that their monopoly state is in no danger of being broken by legislature, they stop financing Firefox, and Mozilla immediately dies to bankruptcy.
I think your example serves the other guy's point...
If Google ever stops developing Chromium with a Free/permissive license, then Vivaldi dies too.
In short: Google has full control over the entire browser market either way.
