I think he means @Vivaldi. My main concern is that it is not fully open source, so the code cannot be independently audited. It also lacks some anti‑fingerprinting and full state partitioning features that other privacy-focused browsers offer; for example, Brave (also Chromium-based) ships stronger defaults. Vivaldi makes various direct connections and includes telemetry and partner integrations unless you manually change settings.

Overall it feels more like a customizable Chromium than a privacy-first browser, so I would not recommend it. If you want a Chromium option, consider @brave, but like Firefox you should configure it for stronger privacy.

I’d also recommend mobile browsers like Cromite, a Chromium-based browser without Google with privacy and security tweaks.

I’d also suggest IronFox as an alternative to standard Firefox, but note that some Gecko-based browsers have had sandboxing and site‑isolation shortcomings on Android in the past.

EDIT: I forgot to mention Brave. Many people say it’s a good browser for desktop and mobile, but I have reservations about the company.
