Vivaldi still uses Chromium as a base, so you're still supporting Google and Chrome. Literally only Firefox and its forks use a different rendering engine (used to be Gecko, I think it's Quantum now). If you are using a browser with Blink as a rendering engine, you're using Google code, and Google will still be in control of your browser.
doesn't safari also hav it's own engine?
It does, but Safari is not cross-platform only macOS and iOS. Firefox is on Windows, Linux (x86 and ARM variants), macOS, Android, and iOS.
It's still Gecko, Quantum is the frontend.
Thank you for the clarification!
