    It isnt a fork though, its just built on top of. Which is probably smarter than a fork, they dont have to do all that other work. It is interesting that the web hints and the user agent now say Chrome in the vavaldi reporting. At least I think it did: search for “what is my user agent” and it will tell you.

      I’m not sure I did exactly what you intended but I searched it in the address/search bar and it gives me this output.

      “Your user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/6.1.3035.257”

          At first I thought I did it wrong, since I got an output for basically every browser engine on the market. Does the order matter? I’m just a network engineer I don’t know much about systems beyond building hardware and installing/managing Windows and some PnP Linux Distros.

            I should have directed you here: https://www.whatsmybrowser.org

            or use whatever search result you want for “what browser am i using”. It will tell you what I was trying to demonstrate.

            No order does not matter, in the first thing we did it simply is announcing that it is capable to handle requests as if it was any of those browsers/versions. This second link is more to to the point.

            Still, if you are happy with it, fine. I just find it somewhat depressing/worrysome that there are basically 2 choices no matter what browser you choose: Chrome (or webkit based) and Firefox. That is it. (Well ok or Safari. KHTML based - which was a fork of KDE’s Konqueror. )
