    I do use Firefox as my secondary browser. I may have been under an inaccurate impression that Vivaldi was more private and secure (with a built-in ad blocker)

      It’s more that Vivaldi is just Chrome under the hood.

      It’s literally just chrome with a pre installed set of add-ons. It’s no different then just using chrome. That’s the fundamental problem with all the shitty chrome based browsers.

        Vivaldi is a bit more unique than just yet; but at the end of the day it is still Chromium, and will therefore never be my main browser.
