Been there, done that, found more holes in vivaldi than the chrome itself, switched up to LibreWolf (a hardened fork of firefox.)

Nice to see LibreWolf getting some attention. Great fork

Vivaldi still uses Chromium as a base, so you're still supporting Google and Chrome. Literally only Firefox and its forks use a different rendering engine (used to be Gecko, I think it's Quantum now). If you are using a browser with Blink as a rendering engine, you're using Google code, and Google will still be in control of your browser.

It's still Gecko, Quantum is the frontend.

Thank you for the clarification!

doesn't safari also hav it's own engine?

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It does, but Safari is not cross-platform only macOS and iOS. Firefox is on Windows, Linux (x86 and ARM variants), macOS, Android, and iOS.
