Coming from Brave, I particularly like that you can change the URL of the search engines you use in Vivaldi. (Brave lets you add your own, but you can never set them as the default.) That way I could make noai.duckduckgo my default search engine. I don't understand why there's only the unsupported Flatpak in the repository, considering that you can simply download an official DEB (and other) install from the Vivaldi site. Give it a try, you may like the large amount of personalization it offers. Sadly, ad blocking is not as strong as in Brave, or rather a bit wonky, so I still have uBlock origin as an extension. Oh, and a huge thanks to the Vivaldi team for taking a stance against AI in their browser!
Udate, I like it but: Increasing the page size doesn't increase the IU font size. There's still the problem with changing the font size without using the terminal to change the CSS file for the bars text size, often referting back to the default size after an updates. It's not a major problem, but there seem to be any attempt to correct it.
One of the best browsers out there, fast and stable has never let me down.
