How important should being open source be to me? Or, more precisely, should the obnoxiousness of #mozilla management outweigh the closed source nature of vivaldi.

I've been trying #vivaldi as a replacement for #firefox, my default browser. I could easily switch to vivaldi.

BUT vivaldi is not open source.

Until then, I'll use firefox and dream about a really free (like in freedom) alternative
