I'd like to try Vivaldi, but the combination of being (partially) closed-source [1] and free-as-in-beer makes me feel like I must be the product. Do they do any sort of third-party auditing of the closed parts? [1] https://v

The home page[1] bends over backwards not to use the name "Red Hat", which renders the FAQ weirdly obtuse. CentOS, which used to be downstream of Red Hat, has changed its strategy. Rocky Linux is looking to replace CentOS. [1] ht
