Vivaldi is still Chrome under the hood

And it's not even open source. I don't trust it, just use Firefox (or a fork of the latter)

Yeah but it offers so much more control and features than vanilla Chrome and it does not ping back to the mothership.

Don't listen to the haters, kids. Vivaldi rocks.

I don't like the usage of Chromium in general, but it is open-source, so I don't think the usage of it is necessarily a dealbreaker, considering it's not the same as using Chrome. As far as I am aware, Vivaldi is not fully open-source, but generally has a good reputation.

Its unrealistic for Vivaldi to implement their own engine, and gecko is noticably slower.
