I'm glad you found a browser that you love, but you're still stuck with chromium base and Manifest v3 with Vivaldi, and any further upstream abuses.
I have run ironwolf, waterfox, fennec, floorp. And several other variants of mozilla's Firefox browser over the past two and a half years of deGoogling, and I would say that less than 2% of the sites I visit give me trouble , less than 1% actually have me falling back to using Safari if I'm on a mac, or spinning up a VM that has Vivaldi installed on it for use with a PC. .
Privacy costs. I'm now paying for my email services and self hosting several others. It's taking me literally years to do Google 90% of my life, but it would have been I impossible if Mozilla is tech stack wasn't mature and extremely available
Again, Vivaldi is a very sexy browser and I'm glad that you are satisfied with it, but it's not going to meet the needs of those of us that want to be free to use full fat third party ad blockers and tracker privacy solutions.
