I have no reason to suspect Vivaldi is unsafe to use in any way. Yes, the UI components are proprietary but thus far it hasn't been proven that they're doing anything beyond what they promise they're doing with it. Although, I'd like Vivaldi even more if they did make this completely open source.
I use Vivaldi as well. I used to run Brave but had endless problems with updating it, especially that PGP keys not found issue....just gave up and used Firefox for a while until I discovered Vivaldi. Not aware of any serious problems with it.

Since the last update of Vivaldi (snap) it is gone from the menu and also dash, I have to start it via terminal "snap run vivaldi.vivaldi-stable"
Any solutions to that other than hoping for the next update to solve this?
I ran the .def before, but found out that snap is updatet more frequently and runs a much higher version of Vivaldi.
Might have changed in the meantime though...
Not 100% sure but on the Vivaldi site you can download the .deb file directly from them and not from snap. I have found that some snap downloads may have problems.
Yes, Vivaldi is decent, and reputable. It's certainly a better choice than Brave, a benighted product by a truly awful company.
Still prefer Firefox, although Mozilla are skating on ever-thinner ice with all this AI bumfluff they keep shoehorning in.
