Vivaldi has TLS active by default at some point for new installs. If new profiles also have that then that’s what is happening.
The browser is not using the ISP’s or the computer’s DNS settings. So DNS blocking/redirecting won’t work on it.

As I said, all my browsers are using the same dns server. This isn’t a dns block

It doesn’t really matter what kind of block it is. Vivaldi comes with TLS (Transport Layer Overlay), but it is not necessarily turned on if its an old install. If a fresh profile has it turned on, then all traffic leaving the browser are encrypted and cannot be tampered with. you can check if it is turned on–
go to Vivaldi://flags

I don’t think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn’t connect. There’s no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls, which is widely supported at this point, and it’s what what all my browsers are using (and also doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off).
