It’s interesting the vast difference in reporting the media has on China’s IP issues vs India’s and even Canada’s.

Or is it because China is a rival?

anon92612on Vivaldi 2.0 – includes sync, resizable tab tiling, floating web panels and more

Does anyone know if Vivaldi (and Brave), render HTML/CSS/JS just like Chrome does?

I know they are both based on Chromium, but just wondering if Google adds some "Googliness" to Chrome?

As a web developer, if I just test my sites against Vivaldi, Brave, or other Chromium based browsers, can I guaranteed the rendering will be identical to Chrome? Or is it safer to also test in Chrome?

Also, do all Chrome extensions work on Chromium based browsers?
