Congratulations to Teri Radichel for independently re-discovering something I'v been quite vocal about for the last few years.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13477264 I first noticed it 6 years ago, but didnt investigate thoroughly beyond "hey, why is it doing that"

Somewhat good news is after complaining repeatedly Vivaldi devs decided to add "Google Service DNS to help resolve navigational errors" checkbox in Privacy section allowing you to completely disable this. Bad news are

1 its enabled by default overriding user DNS

2 its clearly NOT used to "resolve navigational errors" because it triggers when browser receives perfectly valid DNS replies
