Support quality	No support-quality evidence in sources	Complaint-heavy customer service reviews
Public sentiment	Users consistently praise Vivaldi's speed, customization, and built-in features, with mild grumbles about default clutter and setup effort.¹²	Reviewers praise Firefox for using less memory than Chrome and strong privacy, while Reddit threads voice frustration over Mozilla's leadership, AI push, and VPN price hikes.¹⁴
Biggest gotcha	Chromium engine shares zero-day exposure with Chrome and Edge . install updates promptly^⁸	Mozilla VPN price hikes: the $4.99 plan is being discontinued, so renewals cost more
