When I upgraded Vivaldi-Snapshot to the most recent build, I suddenly lost all my settings: started getting cookies I didn't want, V would remember my browsing history, even reset my home page, totally undid my preferences.
Vivaldi creates a separate set of setting for its development build, just the same way Firefox creates spearate profiles for Nightly or ESR builds. Check out ~/.config/vivaldi and ~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot
my settings were wiped after an upgrade.
In the past custom CSS and JS were being wiped out during upgrades. Now Vivaldi has improved and only custom JS can get wiped out - it definitely gets disabled, but with a bit of luck the custom.js file might still be in place after an upgrade.
Vivaldi should have about:config.
+1 on that. Conversely, Firefox should have interface inspector to ease customization of user interface.
Among other browsers out there, IMHO worth checking out: Midori, Qupzilla, and Seamonkey. There is supposed to be a Chromium-ungoogled, too, something like that, available in repositories: Chromium with everything Google removed. I just heard about it a few days ago.
Chromium is Chrome with everything Google removed. Or so the internet claims, because I haven't inspected the source code myself.

I just happened to run into it again: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
Here is where I heard about it: https://degoogle.jmoore.dev/ Other good stuff on this page.
