You see, I see this as a mis-step, and I think it's important to discuss such missteps. But I don't know enough about the internals of Vivaldi the company to know whether the company has bad attitudes and this is yet another manifestation of a draconion culture, or whether someone just tried doing The Right Thing (modern edition) and ended up legislating unintended consequences.

In other words, I'd like to assume the best intentions, and they might yet choose to rectify it.
