I use Vivaldi as a secondary/tertiary browser. It's a Chromium fork without the weird ad/crypto-stuff that Brave has or the shady Chinese ownership that Opera now has. (And the Android version seems to be the only browser app that's putting effort into good ChromeOS functionality.) I've never really been clear on why Brave is more popular than Vivaldi.

Unlike brave, it wasn't open source last time I checked. Had that changed?

No: https://help.vivaldi.com/article/is-vivaldi-open-source/

For me, it's still the most acceptable "major" Chromium-based browser.
