It’s been twenty-three years since the day Phoenix was released, the web browser that eventually became Firefox. I downloaded it on the first day and installed it on my trusty HP Omnibook 800…
I don’t really have a lot of reason to believe that this will happen, but I wish Mozilla would back off the AI nonsense. I don’t want to switch browsers. I think Vivaldi is actually very cool and is my go-to any time a site is misbehaving in FF, but not being FOSS is a big bummer to me.
That said, Vivaldi’s built-in web panel feature is SO nice!!
I’m actually trying it out as my daily driver for a week or so trying to answer that exact question. I’ve got Pihole on my network so it won’t be a true test of Vivaldi alone, but I can say with the weaker Manifest V3 version of uBlock and whatever Vivaldi has built in, I’ve been satisfied. Granted, it’s just been a day, but I tried my damnedest to get some YouTube ads to appear with no success.

Does Vivaldi match Firefox for adblocking ability? That’s always been my highest priority when it comes to browsers.
