Vivaldi

I have started using Vivaldi, because I do not like Google. When I use only Vivaldi and then run CCleaner (paid edition) CCleaner reports that it has cleaned Google Chrome. This concerns me that Vivaldi might be Chrome in disguise, or, does CCleaner use "Google Chrome" as a default for browsers that are not IE, Edge, FireFox, and Chrome?

Please advise/

Thanks!

I use Vivaldi too and Chrome is shown for me in CCleaner too.

Ditto.

All "child browser" are cleaned by the section of browser on which it is based ("parent browser"). Vivaldi is a child of chrome thus is cleaned via the chrome section.

Impossible really to use the Internet and not have any interaction with Google. There's allot of Chrome-clones, and allot of browsers including Firefox use Google for Safe Browsing and creates a cache for it and without it we'd more likely get infected.

THANKS! That explains a lot. Although Vivaldi uses the Chromium engine, I'm still leery of Google. It would not surprise me that wrote some backdoor process that gathers Vivaldi information and stores it.
