I'll hate to bring you more bad news, every one on Play or App store has to hand they "Key" over to Google /Apple / Big Tech
Not sure what "key" you are talking about here, so I'd appreciate if you clarified it. Obviously, Google and Apple do have terms of use for their stores, but they don't demand access to app data, backdoors into apps or spyware code.
At the same time i do have questions regarding Vivaldi using chromium, does it truly not send data to the big G(?)
Vivaldi has cut out all traffic to Google that shares user data. There are still a couple of things left for things like certificates (as well as phishing filters, DNS resolution stuff, etc. if you have that enabled through settings). This means that Google will get your IP, but no other user information (like browsing history) is shared with them. You can read Vivaldi's own blog post on this matter here: https://vivaldi.com/blog/decoding-network-activity-in-vivaldi/

Yup, most companies has an official policy and and an unofficial policy. though i'm not claiming that Vivaldi has that, but I wouldn't rule that out when it comes to the big G.
The key I'm talking about is not necessarily about user data, and also if you and I made an app nor Google or Apple would care about our data. As you see Gab and Parler got kicked out since they didn't obey to something. With other words -that's the same as saying "You might as well give us your platform or get kicked out" imho.

I don't know anything about those two apps or what they did. But "they didn't obey to something" sounds like "they violated the ToS", and that is a valid reason to kick them out. If there is nothing in the ToS that they violated, or if the claimed violation is false, then there is something fishy going on. But if they straight up just broke a rule that can not be classified as "give us your platform or get kicked out" any more than laws can be classified as "give us your life or go to jail".
Again, I don't know the stories of these platforms so I don't know if they were kicked out for good reasons or because Google/Apple wanted in on something and the platforms refused.

In an up straight world I would agree with your sentiments, but unfortunately large companies does also pull dirty moves to knock out their competitors.
Please do study the case.

Well that sort of thing does happen, look at Julian Assange, I consider WikiLeaks as his Life-work, as he is in Jail now, do you think for a second that the They" are not asking him for the keys to his servers?
There are thing that are official and things that are unofficial.

DOWNLOAD EXTENSION:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whatsapp-mini/dhainjljdmfaecmloekicjfhhaihchmf?hl=en-USHow to get it to work with Vivaldi Sidepanel:
Sometimes WhatsApp Web will show the App Download page instead of WhatsApp Web.
Do the following to make it work:- Install the extenion > Sidepanel add> Add http://web.whatsapp.com
- Open WhatsApp Web in a normal Tab.
- Right click on the newly added icon and choose "Desktop Version"
- Click the Home button in the Title-bar of the extension to load into WhatsApp Mini.
Some of you might have turned off the "Title-bar/Home button",
To make the Home button appear: Right click on the icon > Toolbar > Show.

It is no extension. It is the web-panel of Telegram-web. It is modified with CSS, but that doesn't concern the working of the <> arrows.

@vimana BTW: As I have my dark colors with little blue in it (coming from the theme Blueprint) I badly need the avatar bar color changed. Dark brown doesn't fit here.
Is there any code-line that I can use for it (via stylus or else)?

As you guys requested the extension I released it as soon as I could, so it has no color / theme changing function in it. I have even found a couple of bugs right after I published it.
I think next weekend I'll get some time to work on the extension, please note down things this extension should have and i'll try to implement it.

I have service which delivery goods from China tao38.ru. Now I can you Whatsapp web on Android conveniently. I need whatsapp web as the orginal Whatsapp app is installed on manager's phone. Sometimes I need to open this chats with clients on my phone.
To enable need install Yandex Browser on Android. It is the only browser that supports extensions. I don't know why... Than install User-Agent Switcher and Manager extension and enable desktop user agent.
Why Vivaldi and other browsers don't want to make support extensions?

There is a feature request for extension support: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/31078/support-extensions/
There are a lot of discussions about it in that thread. -
Seems like the extension is no longer working... I already had a doubt WhatsApp would every now and then change its internal CSS class names /code. I have an idea how we can solve it.
I will have a look at a more permanent solution.
Progress > Improve > Evolve!
