Levente Krisztián Büte<p>I still don&#39;t understand what the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BrowserChoiceAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrowserChoiceAlliance</span></a> supposed to be.</p><p>One member is a trillion dollar company that also abuses its power, one is a meme browser acquired by a Chinese consortium, and the rest have like two users. Then there is <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi" class="u-url mention">@<span>Vivaldi</span></a></span>. It&#39;s the only one that would make sense to me to be in it. Where is Firefox? The whole idea is so odd. </p><p>The only argument is that this is about <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Windows</span></a> and it keeps people away from downloading others. Okay... How come this isn&#39;t an issue on Android? How come that every browser swallows Apple&#39;s stubbornness that they have to use WebKit over the engine of their own choice?</p><p>Vivaldi, out of the box, has Bing as its default search engine. Or, at least it was like that when I installed it. Apparently that&#39;s fine. Now this company bites the hand that feeds it... by teaming up with another major corporation which isn&#39;t that much better either?! Really?</p><p>I started using Vivaldi, because of its etichs and philosophy behind it. But this is way too questionable to me. Especially, because Opera is also in this group, when Vivaldi was born because of Opera going downhill. And there is zero sign of Firefox even considering to join the BCA. It&#39;s like... Vivaldi is a villain in disguise. What&#39;s the endgame here? </p><p>Honestly, I&#39;m super disappointed and confused now.</p>

Vivaldi<p>Launching today, Vivaldi is a proud participant in the Browser Choice Alliance! </p><p>BCA is an informal alliance of browser makers who are all prevented from competing fairly on Windows PCs, because Microsoft self-preferences its own Edge browser.</p><p>From <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@jon" class="u-url mention">@<span>jon</span></a></span>:<br />“For a long time, Vivaldi has publicly called out Microsoft for its dirty tricks to undermine consumer choice. Independent browsers like us simply cannot compete fairly with Edge when it is so heavily preferenced in Windows. Regulators need to intervene urgently.”</p><p><a href="https://vivaldi.com/blog/browser-choice-alliance-launch/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">vivaldi.com/blog/browser-choic</span><span class="invisible">e-alliance-launch/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Vivaldi</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/VivaldiBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VivaldiBrowser</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BrowserChoiceAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrowserChoiceAlliance</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Browser</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Edge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Edge</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Windows</span></a></p>
