Hi,
Would you explain, link to what do you mean?

Securize?
What?

[Lestsrade]

HARDEN Vivaldi like we can do in Firefox and Waterfox.

How can one really harden Vivaldi to stop all the back and forth traffic to google etc. by making changes in the "config".

Within Firefox one can go to .... "about:config" and change many setting related to 'calling home' ie to google etc.

This is called "HARDENING".

What do we have in Vivaldi.

@Lestsrade

IIRC,
Nothing is calling to Google.
Vivaldi removes that.

BTW,
If you are using Extensions or specific things related to G, they will need to call.

There are a couple of Topics about that with comments from Vivaldi Team Devs.

@Lestsrade See article "Decoding network activity in Vivaldi" which trafficv can happen.

Yes,
AFAIR,
This is enabled by default to avoid users getting blocked to access G services and flood the Forum/SNs with Posts and Complains.

Those knowing and wanting to be in charge of that, usually looks deeply on the Setting/Flags to enforce the security/privacy level.

About:Config looks more difficult to find/read than those Settings in Vivaldi.

Thanks for all your responses.
Much appreciated,

To clarify the second answer,

• V removes the G Tracking part
• Components calls to get updated since the provided link by @DoctorG
• Part of those settings can be modified at chrome://settings/
• And other Settings are at vivaldi:settings/privacy/ as provided by @derDay
