I use Vivaldi on my vpn and I am comfortable because Google refuses to use this combination. So I use brave as a search engine.
Masaru, I tried vivaldi -- it's okay, but you can't remove the separate search box from the address bar and you don't have per-site javascript settings (at least that I can find) This past 24 hours I've tried opera, brave and vivaldi (all chromium variants). Removed brave -- hot pink isn't my thing, but as between opera and vivaldi, I like opera quite a bit more. Now to be fair, I've used opera in the past, as it was competing for users against netscape and then firefox and MSIE. I don't recall exactly what happened, but some time around the same time as the Microsoft deal (2005? ish), opera moved to a more closed-source posture and it more or less dropped out of the browser wars. I really liked it back then as a 2nd browser, FF as my first. This current version, opera-99.0.4788.13, is damn slick. By far the more polished UI between it and vivaldi and it has per-site config for about all security/privacy block settings. So, my $0.02 on current browsers: 1. Firefox 2. Opera 3. Vivaldi (both firefox and opera you can simply zypper in without adding additional repos) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
