Interesting, that source code is growing FAST though, I wonder why that is...

edit: "integrated email client" Ok now I see why ;)

Vivaldi, just like Opera back in a day has things integrated, yeah... They even have Philips Hue controls https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/miscellaneous/philips-hue/

I thought Vivaldi was closed source for some reason, so thank you for this! I may be using that more often now!

The UI is closed source.

Right, I didn't know that

> Note that, of the three layers above, only the UI layer is closed-source. Roughly 92% of the browser’s code is open source coming from Chromium, 3% is open source coming from us, which leaves only 5% for our UI closed-source code

That changes the equation quite a bit.

It's still readable and editable, AFAIK. At least the CSS files.
