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.

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
Idk if it is hard or no, they just decided let some trackers will work, but less sites will break. Easy and lazy decision indeed.
I also aware they ignore search engines which do not pay them. There is no way to add custom search engines to android version of Vivaldi. Is it that hard? I doubt. They are really ignorant folks.
