So Vivaldi is the Internet Explorer of today's for people who don't care about security and privacy?
No thanks
I'm pretty happy with Firefox and Chromium and I don't get what advantages a closed source browser could bring for me.

I don't get it either. Why should anyone use it, if there already are great open source browsers available? I don't even know why this browser gets promoted on Phoronix.

If you care about security and privacy, you watch your router's logs. How many times have you done that? How many times have you looked at the source code for Firefox or Chromium?
Opera was a closed source browser and it ushered in the vast majority of features you take for granted today.

You should read the ToS of Firefox before saying things like that.
Trying once again model that failed in the past (closed source) is just repeating previous mistake...
You can't really say it failed, Opera has been around for 21 years and it isn't dead yet. They had to ditch their own rendering engine but they realised that wasn't the most important thing anyway. It lost some market share to Chrome but people don't choose Chrome because it's open source... not least because it's not open source! Sure, there's Chromium, but the vast majority still install Chrome.
