Note that Vivaldi is closed source. If you're looking for open source only, consider Firefox.

Vivaldi is publishing its source at: https://vivaldi.com/source/

They’re publishing their Blink changes under the same terms as Blink.

Their UI code is source-available proprietary software.

> In addition, all of our UI code (included in normal packages) is written in plain, readable text. This means that all parts of Vivaldi are full audit-able and open from that perspective.

I.E. not downloadable. That's neither open nor open-source.

For projects large like a browser, not sure how having everything open sourced helps users. No one can audit it well enough anyway. Only track record can tell its security and stability.
