I never understand why people prefer Vivaldi over, let's say, Chrome. I personally use FF with hardened security, but if I had no chance, I'd rather give my data to Google, not a browser company with an unknown business model and bloat.

Vivaldi is weird, I once talked with their CEO over on Mastodon (they are active there, which is a good sign, probably), it still felt shady, sadly.

I use Vivaldi exclusive for the tab stacks. As soon as another browser has tab stacks (preferably more than 2 levels) I'll switch.

Arc might have what you need. I have not heard about it before until today but it looks interesting. https://arc.net/

It appears to be available only on MacOS, with no plan for Linux yet. It does sound like something to keep an eye on, thanks.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Because Vivaldi has a ton of power user features that Chrome lacks

There is no other chromium based browser that supports custom css, so I have no choice but to use Vivaldi.
