Vivaldi on why this test is misleading https://vivaldi.com/security/common-questions/#privacytests

Also this doesn't account for the test choosing bad defaults. Defaults aren't as important in vivaldi, as it's made for power users.

if it's made for power users why is it proprietary software? Vivaldi is yet another chromium browser with a fancy skin.

Some of the items on that list are kinda weird. Why would I want to block a website from knowing my screen size?
