Yes, using it since 10 years as main browser. It’s the most advanced browser out there, good privacy, great ethics to the user by this EU company (employee owned cooperative in Norway), perfect transparency, great community, and yes it isn’t OpenSource, but source available (https://github.com/ric2b/Vivaldi-browser, https://vivaldi.com/source/), the proprietary part (5% of the UI script is 100% auditable and even moddeable by the user, in the forum they show how (naturally at own risk)). It’s Chromium based (de-googled), but not a simple fork like other.
Not my intent, I was honestly curious what separated Vivaldi from the dozens of other Blink browsers. Also, I’m earnestly interested in pushing my preconceived notions to the side and giving a new browser a test run.

All that is very intriguing. Chromium based browser make me weary, but Im willing to add it to my rotation of browsers. Thanks for the response.
This reply exchange reads like astroturfing.
