Why?
from the article...
I don't use brave and I am not interested in using it, so YMMV.
Is Vivaldi good for privacy? It is closed-source and I don't understand its business model.
Not according to PrivacyTests.org. It lacks a lot of state partitioning, amongst other things. Just FYI, the front end UI is closed source, but the backend/engine is open source, because they're just another chromium spin off.
exactly, there's a lot of trust involved in using Vivaldi. I don't know why someone recommends it over Brave in the name of privacy.
