Forget Chromium, Vivaldi runs flawlessly!

The interface is more customizable, so I can fit it to my mobian screen more easily. The original reason I switched is that you can disable all suggestions in the omnibar, which you can't do in Chromium.

I'm not worried about it leaking my user agent string. I've thought about running it through a VPN to protect my privacy and anonymity, if that's what you're worried about. I would imagine the Mobian footprint is pretty unique no matter what.

Actually with Chromium (or Chrome for that matter) if you set a null search engine as default I don't think there will be any suggestions in the omnibar. (I have not seen any in my desktop Chromium other than from browser history.) Of course you won't be able to search in the omnibar either, you have to go back to duckduckgo.com or whatever search engine you use.

I might give Vivaldi a spin nonetheless to see how it compares.
