How vivaldi isn't more popular with tech users that want to use chromium totally eludes me. The browser is super moddeable and the devs have so far been nothing but super open and correct to their community. I don't think there's been a single vivaldi "scandal" of note. It literally opera before that went down the drain, and is a better browser on top.

The whole "it's not open source" mantra has also been thoroughly addressed.

Also don't get me started on the brave love. It feels astroturfed. I do not get how you can genuinely shill that browser...

the whole ui is web based and because of that its super slow and glitchy for me.. i do like how it looks tho. even got it to look exactly like opera 12 at some point.

I choose Brave instead of Vivaldi in Android as a second browser just because of 1 feature:

Vivaldi won't force dark mode in all the websites WHEN the device is in dark mode only, it includes a toggle to on or off only and it doesn't care if the device is light or dark.

I use automatic light/dark mode and Brave and Firefox (with the Dark Reader extension) works well with this.

Also the Vivaldi team is aware of this lacking feature since years ago but they can't seem to fix it somehow... That's fine by me, I can work my way without it.
