Since Brave is apparently absolutely terrible, is Vivaldi any better? - lemm.ee

I daily drive Firefox, but more and more websites are starting to break without Chromium, so I still have to occasionally switch to get something working. I was using Ungoogled Chromium until I realized that there was no easy way to update it when that pixel-stealing exploit came out a while back. To be clear, I’m not talking about stock “no settings changed” Vivaldi. With that requirement, even Firefox could be called invasive! What I want to know is if Vivaldi is relatively safe to use with all the telemetry and stuff disabled in the settings and using any necessary extensions. Thanks!

    Most of them I don’t remember because I only need to visit them once. What prompted me to get Vivaldi, however, was my patient portal. I can’t say which service because it’s PII.
