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.

CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI 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)

Well there’s a difference between the rendering engine and what’s included with it. Take a look at Cromite. They do quite a bit of work hardening Chrome. I think avoiding chrome-based browsers on principle is self-limiting. Evaluate the product before discarding it. I’m a Firefox guy, but I know it has its problems.

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.

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