I'd switch to Vivaldi instantly if they dumped Chromium / Blink and the browser didn't contact Google every time it starts. Mozilla's short-term vision in not offering an easy to use standalone Gecko rendering engine (to prevent others from making competing browsers using Gecko) is a major factor on why Chrome and Chromium browsers rules the roost today. And Firefox keeps losing its market share. It's a good example of greed corrupting open source philosophy. (They seem to have shortsightedly realised this for mobile platforms with GeckoView). In choosing Chromium / Blink Vivaldi has chosen to sacrifice all the philosophy of the old Opera browser - creating an innovative, blazing fast browser without being a resource hog. We need more Webkit and Gecko based browsers.
