Chromium but with extra steps. Why did vivaldi choose chromium.

To be fair there's not much choice. It's either chromium or firefox's engine, but if i remember correctly, back then firefox implemented some weird things that got a lot of backlash from the community (extension change, etc). Another option is to build a new web engine from the ground up, but it's not worth it.

It is.... its a REAL alternative to chromium. See my answer to the other chromium fan.
