Long-range goals

Vivaldi 4.3
My go-to browser has always been Firefox. It is technically good. In parallel, I also use multiple other browsers. It is a bit of a nuisance sometimes to switch around, but I manage.
Lately, I have been using a specific web app more and more and it needs to use a specific feature that, at the moment, is supported only in chrome engine. My options are Brave and Vivaldi.
I like Brave's design a lot, but Vivaldi offers more than just browsing, so I have been experimenting with it. And recently, there was a new update and I like the privacy improvements. Below are two recent examples of Vivaldi's proactive privacy measures.
I am also impressed that Vivaldi is employee owned with no outside investor. I hope they can stay that way.
Check them out here.
Update: Despite Vivaldi's various built-in blocking, seems that I can do MS Teams video meeting on Vivaldi smoothly.

Dealing with new paradigm
“The root cause of most mistakes people make when dealing with new paradigms comes down to two things: fear and arrogance.
We fear we’ll miss out, that we’ll fail, or that we’ll be judged and rejected. And when we’re not afraid, we’re arrogant. We think the new thing is obviously bullshit, or obviously amazing, and it decreases our attachment to the actual truth.
When dealing with a new paradigm, reason has its limits. The best strategy is to embrace curiosity, and don’t worry too much.”
