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.

No, if you are using a chromium browser you are using chrome. to some extent or another google is involved. The level of googles involvemnet is different per browser but if you want to elimnate them completly you will probably need some obscure firefox fork. Even then without something like no script blocking googles servers almost every site will collect google analytics.
