Description

I added Vivaldi Browser in place of Brave. If the sites going to feature a Chromium based browser, Vivaldi checks far more boxes than brave, and without trying to sell you Cryptocurrency along the way. Much more control over privacy settings, extensions, and the browser itself is really customizable.

Vivaldi is mainly (if not 100%) non-free software.
Therefore does not meet the software criteria.

If you like Vivaldi try Dooble or Otter Browser.

I am totally okay with this being denied, but I would say even though not open source, it's still more secure than Brave. I think having a Chromium based browser could be a good thing for the site as it seems a lot of people do prefer it. Giving them a privacy focused version would be key here.

Please reopen https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/2206 (more recent) or https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/pull/717 , since no one has said a why not to include it. I have researched Vivaldi, and have written up my findings in this article and I don't see a why not to include it.

The only thing that has been said is that it is closed source, and this issue is explained by Vivaldi here.
