Adblock overlord to Zuckerberg: Lay down your weapons and surrender

Vivaldi's tweaky grinders fire out another release: Add themes, security

Been using Vivaldi as a work browser for a while now, i've found it to be quite good. Ublock, Privacy Badger and the Signal messenger client all plugged in without any problems.

I sent a 5th gen iPod back to them after a friend stood on it and broke the scroll wheel (didn't tell them how it happened) and got back one that has 'Debbie Rocks' inscribed on the back. I complained at them resulting in it being picked up, and then the same one mailed back to me.

A second pissy complaint eventually saw one without the opinion of Debbie sent over.
