Vivaldi is Proprietary software.
Don't trust what can't be audited.
Chromium is maybe "open source" but the permissive licenses that it has
permits to not share the source of the distributed binaries.
Like said at the beginning it can become Proprietary software thus you
can't audit it if it's closed.

Has for the chromium security problems that you mentioned chromium is
known for not being for the user:

Glad to ear that.
If you are new to the free software world I suggest Icecat has a
browser, then activate or deactivate what addons you want in it.
One addon that I recommend if you want to go the easy way is "µblock
origin" and if you want the hard but secure way I suggest "umatrix".
Good luck.
