Vivaldi is chromium based and far better than the alternatives imo. They're openly anti-big tech, push the fediverse, and will be forking starting at manifest v3.

It is still closed source nonetheless, which is a bit of a gimmick since nobody sane enough could read through most of a browser codebase anyway.

According to this website it is less private than Brave by default, more or less like Firefox

That said, I didn't consider it before but I'll definitely check it out later

AFAIK it was tested with the default setting set to no tracker- and ad-blocker. When enabling all the built in measurements it looks a lot better.
