What browser is better: DuckDuckGo or Vivaldi? (lemmy.autism.place)

My current browser is DuckDuckGo because I like to use it to protect my privacy on the Web.

I heard word about Vivaldi being a popular browser for Fediverse users but I never tried it.

I’m not sure which one is necessarily better.

Between these two options DuckDuckGo Browser is at least free and open source, while Vivaldi is closed source, which makes DuckDuckGo Browser the better choice.

Firefox and its forks are better than both. Firefox's Gecko engine is independent of Google and Apple, while Vivaldi uses Google's Blink engine and DuckDuckGo Browser uses either Blink or Apple's WebKit engine depending on platform.
