Yeah, Vivaldi is the best chromium-based browser. Personally, I use it a secondary for sites that were made to only display right on chromium browsers. Librewolf, a privacy-focused fork of Firefox, is the one I use as a main browser.

@TheGreatFox, Librewolf is a good choice, but instead of a FF fork (Firefox also has a good privacy, but not so Mozilla), I prefer the Otter Browser. Mozilla in last years it has become a Google Mascot and is sponsored by it. When you need to sync your data, Mozilla shared it with Alphabet, googleanalytics and googletagmanager.
Anyway the privacy depends more on the search engine you use and your common sense, than on the Browser itself (only if you not use Chrome, EDGE or Opera)

@TheGreatFox, anyway in privacy you always have to make compromises, for example when I set my privacy to the maximum in Vivaldi, I have as a counterpart that many pages do not work or are unreadable. What we have to avoid is exposing private data and not so much technical data (OS, screen resolution, country by public IP (we can only hide this last with a VPN), things like this that need many pages to work as espected and do not identify you personally).
