Vivaldi use it's own sync server since ever, Google don't permit Google sync for other browser than Chrome itself, it's a degoogled Chromium and no really need of extensions, due to inbuild blocker and other tools, even Dark Mode for websites and Page Filters. It has less relations with Google than Mozilla, where your account data is shared with Alphabet (a no-go for me). But yes, it's the only Chromium usable related to privacy. Vivaldi's business modell isn't based on ads or third party investors, It is the only EU Browser, apart the KDE Konqueror, on eye level to the US (Chinese) hegemony of big Companies (my Main reason to use it)

Maybe, but reverse image search with face recognition is a big risk, PimEye isn't the only one, there are also FaceCheck, ProFace Finder and some other which are using AI, accessible for any s..normal.

I use Vivaldi sync e2ee (Bookmarks, Passwords, Apps, Extensions, Notes, Reader lists, Tabs, Auto complete, History) and Zen Browser as second, without account and sync, because Mozilla has turned into an advertising company, instead importing datas from Vivaldi.

Bad if you don't find yourself without an app, but worse when any idiot can track and stalk you usinge this app.

I'd rather lick my elbow before creating an account on this shit, but sometimes you come across links to certain posts on this site that require you to view them.

I know what is a front-end, but not really needed if you want to use it only to see the content to stay private. Posting on any Zuckebot crap no front-end will protect you. Use a VPN and a good ad/tracking blocker, eg. uBO, so you don't need a third party app to visit pages of Big Brother companies, which also can log your data and add more fingerprint data as before.

I prefer to use alternatives instead of front ends for Instacrap, eg. Pixelfed (OpenSource, federated and decentralized)

 
 

(In the case that someone in Lemmy still use Google)
