I used to really like this browser, but unfortunately I feel there are better alternatives out there with better tracker protection such as Brave and Firefox. Also, Brave has fingerprinting protection which Vivaldi does not at all. The worst thing, is if you use this browser these days you could be putting yourself at risk since the latest Chromium updates can take weeks/months, in this case, to get pushed to the browser. Also, my opinion too, it has become extremely bloated. I know though this browser can be very useful for some users who like a lot of features and a very nice UI.

I agree. It has become bloated indeed. Also, they should have designed their settings following the Chromium browser's design language. It's easy to get used to the settings of Edge or Brave for example. Vivaldi is totally different and often hard to find what I'm looking for.
Believe it or not, Google Chrome is the least bloated Chromium browser among the popular ones. It used to be Edge when it came out but not anymore.
