Vivaldi uses the same engine as Chromium, and the company has been founded by ex Opera developers.
Yes, it's Blink without the bits that Google doesn't share (I wanted to be precise that nobody can compile actual Chrome from public sources, they can build Chromium which is almost but not quite the same)
If FF isn't for you then maybe give Brave a try. It's basically a de-googled Chrome.
Isn’t Chromium degoogled Chrome?
Ungoogled Chromium is degoogled Chrome, the regular Chromium is just Chrome without (most of?) the proprietary / closed source components
Kinda, but it still connects to Google for updates for example, and syncs your browsing data to Google if you login. So it's really only halfway there.
Iirc, it has some crypto and nft stuff built in which many ppl hate.
It does have some weird crypto stuff it promotes/offers after a vanilla install, but you can hide literally all of it. Brave is my daily driver, and looking at my installs you'd never know it had crypto stuff integrated.
Idk, people are weird sometimes. I use FF myself, but I think Brave is a good alternative. Definitely better than using Chrome imo.
