      I just learned there is this Reporting API that instructs browsers to send reports to specified addresses (presumably Chromium-based browsers all inherit this feature):

      https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Reporting_API

      https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/7956

      This sounds like a privacy concern as summarized by Brave issue above.

      Should this be disabled for Vivaldi?

        Hi, I guess Vivaldi use this for crash reports to the bug tracking system but it is anonymized and disabled by default.
        No idea why network error report could be a privacy issue but I think Vivaldi doesn't collect this anyway.
        I bet @yngve can give us more inside how the Vivaldi team handle this.
        I don't ping developers here often but this could be a privacy/security problem.

        Cheers, mib
