Ahh can’t escape the ghost of chromium I see. No offense taken from anyone who bashes on Vivaldi as I’m not dying on a hill to defend it, but of the browsers I’ve used I like the balance it strikes between what compromises that were made.
Funny enough, before making the switch to it as my main browser, I gave Firefox another shot and liked most of the experience. I also remembered using it quite a bit in middle/high school and generally had a positive experience from those times.
I only decided to go with Vivaldi instead due to the ease of customization over the gui and how certain elements could be dynamically hidden/shown as needed. It was a niche demand of a browser on my part. I remember having a somewhat rough time getting Firefox to do similar things while not intruding on the look or function of other parts of the browser, but I haven’t looked at Firefox recently and how the UX has changed since, and if it weren’t for the previously mentioned personal/niche functionality I was looking for, I think I would have stuck with Firefox over Chrome.
