I’m the inverse. The amount of customization and power user features are what makes it my daily driver, though I agree the reliance on Google isn’t good. Also having their sync data stored e2e encrypted with my own private key is a nice touch. Though if a heavily customizable fork of Firefox with features like that was available I’d likely switch. I don’t have the time to maintain a highly customized userchrome.css that could break with every update, unfortunately
It’s been a long time since I used Vivaldi, but I find Zen browser fits what I remember of Vivaldi.
Just like the other person, I used Vivaldi for several years, but then switched to Firefox. Zen is my current browser, and it seems to fit into the place Vivaldi had pretty comfortably. It’s not identical, but it has a similar niche.
It was when Vivaldi’s sync went down for idk, a month? that forced me onto Brave.
No reason to move back - maybe until now
