    Because it’s one of the last few browsers that’s usable and not based on Chrome/Chromium

    • Open source
    • Reasonably privacy respecting (could be better OOB)
    • Extensions that further enhance privacy and remove unwanted annoyances from pages
    • Cool logo

    I’ve been using it for years, first out of disdain for Internet Explorer, now out of disdain for Google Chrome. I just do not trust the corpos at all, and Firefox has always been solid(outside of a few years in the '10s).

    Because it’s privacy focused. Also because it’s not based on Chromium. It’s the only one keeping us from having a Google browser monopoly

      This was my excuse until recently. Now I enjoy Vivaldi. Turns out I need less extensions to enjoy this one! I’m so happy 😊

        Vivaldi is chromium based and not fully open source. It doesn’t deserve any more trust than chrome/edge/safari/etc.
