Proof? It's an up-to-date-ish FF in a different guise, if I'm not mistaken.
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN!!!

OK, so where do I find out about vivaldi? :-)
https://vivaldi.com/ IIRC it's FF with a (sligtly) different UI and some differing defaults. And behind on security patches. I trust it (quite a bit) less than its upstream. And the vivaldi website itself sucks. A lot. Go figure. *yuch* that fluffy prose of them advertising their rebranded FF (or Chromium, don't care actually), that makes me retch! And BTW: all that fluff that supposedly makes vivaldi stand out, that's a) either fluff inherently included in FF, just not enabled in the official binaries (but might be in out suse binaries), or it's just some "preinstalled" addons. Which anyone packaging FF can do. Just put the .xpi in the right place while building, or some such. So, basically, Vivaldi is FF built a tad different, as the suse build differ a bit from the official builds. And you might start to wonder, where they get all the money for the buildservers and that fancy, fluffy, horribly broken webpage. And it might be, that vivaldi.com does actually sell something, i.e. your (meta)data. Just inferring. Don't get me wrong, recently, I don't even trust a homebrewn FF build with a ton of crap disabled... But it's IMO still more trustworthy than chromium. Webkit? Huh, dunno. It's run by Apple nowadays... And IE/Edge? Hey, I run Linux exclusively since about '03 or so. And I trust M$ about as far as I can throw their whole headquarters over Lake Washington. So, I try to harness FF via addons and dns. I block a buttload of stuff via dns (dnsmasq), and uMatrix does not allow anything if I open random.example.com.
