Vivaldi on why this test is misleading https://vivaldi.com/security/common-questions/#privacytests
Also this doesn’t account for the test choosing bad defaults. Defaults aren’t as important in vivaldi, as it’s made for power users.
if it’s made for power users why is it proprietary software? Vivaldi is yet another chromium browser with a fancy skin.
That’s not about defaults. They basically say “we are too lazy to deal with any heuristics, not even deal with malware itself, as google safe list exists”. Their approach is really too cautious “if some site will brake”? Of course no, there are always one button to unbreak it, they are just too lazy!
This is a very ignorant response. Do you really think it’s that hard to include some heuristics? This was a very deliberate decision by the team
