Try basic Chromium, it's Chrome without the Google.
You're not wrong about Firefox, many sites are specifically optimized for Chrome and perform worse in FF. This is especially true for anything Google.
My machines are generally fast enough that FF is fine so I prefer it but I fall back to Chromium occasionally or Chrome and Edge for specific uses.
There's nothing in particular wrong with Vivaldi, IIRC I didn't like some features or UI bits when I used it last so it didn't have anything to recommend itself to me over basic Chromium. I'd prefer it over Edge which, IMO, is bloated with a bunch of garbage but Edge has very good streaming site support so 🤷♂️
