#directmatch — Public Fediverse posts

#VivaldiBrowser's most important thing is the #UI. #OpenSourcing it all would still mean letting others take it, no matter of how it is with others.
After all, #VivaldiTechnologies is a company that relies mainly on this. Some people complain about #DirectMatch and #sponsored #searchEngines, even though they are removable. If they would #openSource it, soon there would appear a “#debloated #Vivaldi” version #forked by some people. How would Vivaldi make #money then, I ask you?

And regarding #VivaldiBrowser's #business_model, I can tell you that I checked it before sticking with it (the #browser), and I liked it.
Unlike #BraveBrowser, which had some problems with hidden partner links, #VivaldiBrowser lets you disable #DirectMatch (its partner links service). :vivaldia_heart:
