Is Vivaldi Browser safe for net banking, online transactions and bill payments through online method?

[Gaurav27]

I love Vivaldi browser because Vivaldi is the 1st Chromium based browser that provides total customization.
Now my serious question "Is Vivaldi Browser safe for net banking, online transactions and bill payments through online method?"
I asked this because I used only Chrome and Opera for transaction, because the actual reason is some websites may takes upto 1-3 minutes to generate successful transaction and reference code or numbers using automatic waiting and redirection process(without using manual steps for security reason).

Hi, Vivaldi is up to date with latest Chromium 73.0.3683.88 code on which Chrome also based.
Same security as Chrome 73.0.3683.88.
Look in Chrome Help > About to the Version info.

Cheers, mib

Do not know as I have no Chromium to compare with,
Having said that, some Extensions" required by many banks do not work in Vivaldi or Chromium. This is due to the fact that the developer (IBM, IBM Security Rapport) has chosen not to support Chromium based browsers or anything on Linux. Although this may change when MS Edge goes Chromium as it is supported in the older version..
The developers are extremely reluctant to develop for anyone else except FF, Edge, IE or chrome.
I have emailed several times with the only response I got, to paraphrase: look at our website for a list of supported browsers.

All modern updated browsers, Vivaldi, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Safari - even Edge, are safe to use for online banking and transactions. The weak point will always be your bank and their choice of security measures.

Just make sure your browser is updated with the latest version to get security fixes.
