Why I'll stick with Firefox (for now)
-
This is what I just printed to PDF straight from Vivaldi 1.5.658.56 (Stable channel) (32-bit) on Windows 10 (x64), by clicking
[CTRL]
+[P]
and selecting the "Save as PDF" printer, without changing any additional settings: This page printed to PDF (you can download this file or view it directly in your browser). -
I find that printing to Cute PDF now produces a PDF with selectable text..
-
Firefox - how PDF printing with embedded text should work
and Vivaldi.1.15.1147.36 - note how text highlight is offset from actual text
-
I use CTRL +P to print with Vivaldi (and Chrome) and I have it selected as "PDF".
I can open the files in Acrobat, I can select text. I can search for words, etc...

Had to put in my 2c for this - there may be some shortcomings of V, mainly as a result of usage of raw Chromium, but the user-friendliness eclipses this IMO.
My take on this - there will always be somethings some browsers are better at, like the one app I use - the right click options work only on FF; even Dev Tools work better on FF; so for whatever reason; we just have to live by that and use them selectively.
I had also made a shortsighted statement like this a few years back because apart from other stuff, sync was not up to snuff (and is not still ) but the tweaks we can do with the browser show they are not opinionated and care for the users' point of view for general usage. -
