> I don't need to customise my browser

Ok, but not every use case is so primitive? I do need my custom shortcuts and what not, so it is exactly the correct "gotcha" I think it is even if that's beyond your understanding.

Right after they reach at least ~80% of customization Vivaldi offers!

How do you figure a price of 0 is a high price?

The OS isn't supposed to be premium since it's free, does that help figure it out?

So you must use both hands for that, and stretch your right hand to reach the numeric row, and also blocking some app combos? How is that better than getting Autohotkey?

No, keys can have multiple uses, so nothing is ruled out. For example, you can have a short or double tap of the left Control to do something without the negative effect of affecting your Ctrl+X combos. So no hijacking, but a peaceful coexistence Caps is low in value, but also low in convenience

The reason for not using the good idea of a single key per language isn't explained, and Caps lock is fundamentally less convenient (it's a sideway pinky key, rather unergonomic compared to a thumb Ctrl modifier)

This is still noisy, wasting 3 symbols to end where an invisible line end would suffice

So you do understand it!

That's what the backups are for, and also local password copies remain even without internet/subscription?

No, if that were true, there would be no extension support on non-mobile

> If you have been using Vivaldi for years, you have your setup exactly as you want it and you would not trade it for anything.

You wouldn't be able to even if you wanted because there is no good way to export/import your changes for the trade to happen

Otherwise removing a few borders seems a bit underwhelming for a major version bump

eviks — Mon, 18 May 2026 02:36:34 +0000

Do you have an actual list of arguments with the steps you take to boil them down to ignorance? CSS is a design system, as like any system it can be poorly designed. Poorly designed systems require more effort to operate, and you can even call that "skills", but that just ignores the core issue of comparing design of those systems

> it does follow from the simple fact that a fired employee with access to company systems is a security risk.

No, employees that can wipe 96 databases are a security risk, even when they're employed. But of course it's easier to go the inhumane route of cutting everything off at employment end rather than fix it properly
