Just curious: Vivaldi devs are always very keen in telling everyone how much they modify chromium to fit their privacy standards. Are they worse than Firefox?
Given that part of Vivaldi is closed source, it will always be 'worse' than Firefox in terms of privacy.
That's a very broad question. They have some advantages, like built in ad-blocker (firefox only has tracker blocker) with customizable lists, no analytics except basic user counting.
Firefox in theory has the advantage of being open source though I doubt anyone has independently taken it upon themselves to audit the code base of a whole browser, without payment.
