I remember the September 11 and more than 3000 killed people....in 1973, when the CIA organized the end of an democratic elected president to put an bloody dictator in Chile, Pinochet.

The Vivaldi team is working hard to gut the Google spyware in Chromium on every update. Because of this only security patches are in realtime, all other updates are 1-2 weeks behind. The rest remains as user choice in the settings (save browsing, Chrome Store (without Vivaldi isn't even recognized as Chromium), G DNS and little else). Therefore, Vivaldi can be seen a hard fork. No data sended to Google, nor other third party companies (excepting naturally extensions and search engines you use, they can be not so private in any browser, Mullvad also recommend to use less extensions possibles).
UI in Vivaldi is unique, you can set it to simple as an old IE or to an dashboard of an Spaceshuttle and everything in between in the settings and more with CSS. Also using of more than 4000 themes, or made and share your own. You can install Chrome extensions, but most are redundant because of the own inbuild ones, or even install directly userscripts as extensions.
It's clear, slower is relative. FF is slower in the startup and rendering some heavy loading webs, but the difference certainly isn't sooo dramatic. It's not a reason to avoid it, the only reason depends of the use of a browser, if it fits your needs or not.
Captchas today are completely obsolete to avoid bots, more now with AI, since years and are just simple click ads from different companies since no one clicks on banner ads anymore. A simple Honeypot system or, as they do in some forums, waiting half an hour before sending the email with the account code, are much more efficient to avoid bots, without pissing off the user.
Vivaldi has in its inbuild ad/trackerblocker also filters to block cookie popups, no problem with this
USA, weapon companies and Nazies
Yes, but not neccesary other Chromium do it, that depends only on the corresponding devs. Chrome is a RAM and Data Hog, because use for every tab a own process, but Vivaldi Hibernate the background tabs and because of this use less RAM than other Chromium and even FF. But generally all US browsers send data to Alphabet, googleanalytics and googletagmanager, except Edge (also Chromium), but in change it sends data to other MS partners which are even worst (Towerdata). I use Vivaldi for this, because it's the only existing EU browser (after the French UR browser died some years ago) maybe apart Konqueror from KDE (Linux only, KHTML or KDE WEBKit engine), no data for third parties, nor Google, despite the Chromium base. The Browser companies are the problem, not the engine which they use.
At least for my city OSM is pretty complete with all business in it, A alternative is Here Maps, which also show all traffic and public transport lines, apart of the business sites. The only thing that no other map has is the Google Street View (Here at least has a 3D view), but I can live without this.

Typical American politics, throwing the stone and hiding their hand after, the bad guys are always the others. Like the famous missile crisis in Cuba, 1962, which almost put us in a nuclear war, which by the way was avoided by the Russians at the last moment, while the USA already had its finger on the red button, to launch the own nuclear missiles, stationed in Turkey and Italy since 1959, pointing to Mosow, and no one talks about, because the bad guys are the Russians. US foreign policy has caused most dictatorships and wars today, for oil and for MAGA.
