The team claims that although the code is not on a Free license (aside from Chromium modifications, which are BSD license), but it is openly available for inspection: https://vivaldi.com/source/ > Vivaldi makes connections to gezillions of different IP addresses. I would be guessing it queries external sites for data needed to provide functionality like ad blocking (it needs to regularly update the ad filters), etc. Firefox seems no better here, I think. > Otherwise, have you considered other Mozilla-based browsers, such as Icecat I haven't heard about Icecat.

I do have Palemoon, which I primarily use when I need to download huge files. Palemoon has the Flashgot plugin, which intergates with Trinity's KGet allowing to easily redirect links to TDE's download manager. It's a pity that when Firefox moved to Quantum it left behind so many good extensions that have not been replaced until now and most likely will never be replaced. > I am sure you have your own reasons for choice of browser, so I will > refrain from rants against proprietary or "non-free" software. I do prefer my software open source and only go for closed source when there's really a significant difference in software quality.
