Vivaldi was only an option until Google removed any real way to run adblocking extensions from Chromium source. If there was a fork of Chromium allowing Ublock Origin to run it could be considered but as it is now there is no real point to consider Vivaldi or any other Chromium based browsers if you want real ad blocking.

Used Vivaldi and it was always slower and more clunkier than Chrome/Chromium but it had its advantages. The team behind it was old Opera team and tried/tries to bring that feel back to the browser with some success. I had been user of old Presto based Opera, the Blink version wasn't really what I looked for and the change of ownership was really questionable.
