Is using vivaldi instead of chrome considered degoogling? I have heard that it uses chromium as its engine, but I want to know whats the downside of that? Does it diretcly bring money to google by using a chromium based browser? Does google somehow collect data from it?

The downside of Chromium-based browsers is Manifest V3. As for Vivaldi in particular, it isn’t open source.
