There is no decent open source browser.

@alyx @nonetrix Can't go wrong with Chromium

What's the big difference between Chromium and a Chromium based browser that is actually polished, works on Android too, actually gives me bookmark sync etc.

@alyx @nonetrix Chromium is open source

So you're saying that the only reason I should pick an open source software vs a refined version of that open source project is a label? Sorry, that's not gonna be enough for me.
If I have to choose between LibreOffice and Microsoft Office, sure I'll choose LibreOffice, because it's a completely different code. But if I had to choose between original LibreOffice and a fork (let's call it PaidOffice) that was no longer open-source, but was significantly better, the open-source label by itself won't convince me to not switch to PaidOffice.

And the reason I'm calling it just a label, is because I don't have the expertise to actually audit the code myself or to compile the browser from the audited code. So for me, there's not gonna be a big difference between trusting random people that I don't know to check Chromium's source code, and trusting the devs at Vivaldi.

@alyx @nonetrix Calm down, I didn't say you should pick anything, I said Chromium is a good open source browser

It is usable enough for most people I guess. But as I see it, it's a broken version of Chrome. I've been more satisfied with close-source forks of it than Chromium itself.
