I switched from chromium to vivaldi after Google announced their WEI.
Vivaldi is a Chromium based browser...
It is, but they strip the WEI API from their builds. However, you may want to switch the user agent string to "Vivaldi" because it is "Google Chrome" in the default setting.
That doesn't solve anything.. it might even be downright bad as you are more prone to being fingerprinted...
Why not firefox?
Because that's always been my primary browser. But I like to use different profiles for each web service I registered at. Switching profiles on Firefox takes some extra steps, so I used Chromium and now Vivaldi.
Understandable, have a good day!
