Yes, but read how and the reason, it isn’t really a privacy problem, it’s like a municipal employee who counts the number of cars that pass on a street, to determine the traffic density. This in no way compromises the privacy of the drivers.
Regarding Vivaldi being defined as proprietary*, it is due to 5% of its scripts referring to the UI that are restricted for commercial use, to protect itself, but open for auditing, the rest is OpenSource and available here.
Vivaldi is very different of any other Browser, just as it was with the first Opera, before being sold to the Chinese. Vivaldi is from the same CEO of the old Opera, Jon von Tetzchner
No, I am not concerned about Vivaldi’s privacy, not with this philosophy that the Team has, they even did not include the name Vivaldi in the UA, against their own interests, because users experienced problems accessing certain Google services (abusive browser sniffings ). What other company does this? Mozilla?
Do you use GitHub? You know, it’s proprietario (Microsoft)
FOSS isn’t necesary sinonym of privacy. The reason is a community and collaborative work, apart to avoid Big Tech. Important that the site, app or service has a good Privacy Policy and TOS, this what nobody reads.
Vivaldi is proprietary and assigns a unique user ID to each installation which pings their servers every 24 hours.
Proprieatry software should not be recommended in this community because we can’t verify what’s running beneath it.

Welp. No thank you. I won’t use proprietary software.
