Isn't vivaldi just another branded chromium? Seems a bit disingenuine for them to be complaining about the company that built their product.

When the hand that feeds you starts jamming food down your windpipe, it's time to bite.

Isn't Chromium just a repackaging of KHTML from the KDE project?

    KHTML -> Webkit -> Blink
             \_ Safari   \_ Chromium
              |_ Epiphany  |_ Opera 15+
                           |_ Vivaldi

Is it really? The last time I played with that it was almost unusable. (must've been more than a decade ago).

WebKit was originall a fork of KHTML. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit#Origins

Yes, and if Google was bad-mouthing KDE then we should call them out for it. What was your point?

My point is Vivaldi using Chrome is irrelevant in this discussion. Writing Chrome doesn't give Google a free pass on antitrust and intimidation issues.
