The guide doesn't say what greyed out means. I thought it was for american companies but there are canadian, australian, and eu things greyed out too.

I made a mistake on Vivaldi, but the others are because they are non-EU owned. The website separates the HQ and ownership better, which helps explain this. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/

It's not really a mistake with Vivaldi - sure, it's an EU-based company making an EU-based browser, but they are using Chromium, which is majority controlled by Google.

That is a big part why Firefox and Firefox based browsers are so heavily favoured on the website.
