I know that extensions mean everyone can do it differently, according to taste, but extensions also mean that there are a whole bunch more people I have to trust, and a whole bunch more that are likely to come and go and leave me scrabbling around for replacements.
One of the reasons why I particularly like Vivaldi these days is that I don't need so many extensions to achieve what (I think) should be basic browser functionality. I now have just two extensions that are active all the time (Privacy Badger and KeePassXC), and a couple more rarely used items that I activate only when needed.
Vivaldi does have an abundance of features which can make it sound cluttered, but mostly I find the features are quite unobtrusive, to the extent that it's easy to forget stuff exists unless you use it regularly.

Given that vast majority of the competing browsers are now based on the Chromium web browser code base, it's hard to accept the weird glitches between Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, Silk, Brave, etc. when rendering a web page.

It's not a problem I've seen much of, but I know it exists because Vivaldi have had several blog posts exploring this issue. Their short version being: Lazy, poor or out of date practices on site building can make life especially difficult for browsers other than the big three.
