    Vivaldi makes me laugh. It’s a proprietary browser which spies on their users. Stop recommending it for privacy. I’m sure it has some unique features, but Vivaldi is not a private browser.

      Inform yourself better before claiming that Vivaldi spies on the user, which is absolute bullshit. The only thing that Vivaldi collects is statistical data that any browser does, to determine technical data, there is no personal data that can personally identify users. Even Firefox does it, FF even sells this data to Alphabet and NEST (Google advertising companies), to create revenue, which Vivaldi doesn’t do, Vivaldi don’t sell user data to third parties. Vivaldi is an European browser with its strickt privacy norms, which in US browsers don’t exist. But keep laughing in your belief that being FOSS is sinonym of secure and private. In any case, I am amused by those who subscribe to a channel of a browser that they do not like, only to say inconsistencies that they have heard somewhere.
