    Vivaldi browser is known to collect and sell your data on your usage like everything else except Firefox and chromium (not chrome); in case you didn't already know

      I disagree wholeheartedly.

      A web search shows others showing concerns on various sites, and dev/staff responses.

      I'd be more concerned about brave, your own isp, tiktok. Then the whole deal with backdoors in Intel chips and running minix. Don't remember if amd has the same deal.

      Vivaldi is fine. From what I've seen they mainly check out things like what os I am running, things of that nature. I can live with that. Steam from valve knows my hardware too. Heck the oil shop knows my vin, mileage, make, and model, as far as my car goes. I can live with that as well.

      The only knock against Vivaldi is it being closed source.
