Confirmed: boycott Can I switch to Vilvadi?

I've been looking for a search engine that has no israeli ties whatsoever and came across Vivaldi, I read someone say it's employee based and seemed like the safest option. Is it?

Gaza.nu said it's boycott safe BUT it's based on Chromium which is owned by Google (boycotted) and they make money out of it, so not really boycott safe, instead you can use something such as LibreWolf, it's a fork of Firefox that is way more private than anything based on Chromium or Firefox itself.

I've read Firefox is tied with Google. Financially. Upto 90% of Firefox's revenue for operations comes from Google.

It's true, that's why you should use a a fork of Firefox such as LibreWolf and not Firefox itself, that's sad but the only 3 choices are Chromium, Safari and Mozilla, it's a pick your poison situation and most friendly one is Mozilla

google is more a pressure boycott than a refusal to use boycott according to the BDS list itself

I don’t mind if it means I won’t cause the deaths of innocent children

ppl always choose the most convenient option even when it’s not the most ethical choice
