Aren't this 2 pretty much different things?
GMail is a web front-end/web mail and also provider (including storage)
Vivaldi is just another mail client and doesn't host anything.
How is this a comparison?
Comparing it with Thunderbird, Outlook & Co would make much more sense-
Tech writers are often techies; as in consumer of tech products not cute technicians.

Unfortunately Vivaldi remains a closed-source chromium browser, so no, thanks.
Edit: Never mind, just realized what community this got posted to.
As always the recurrent theme, yes, Vivaldi isn't fully OpenSource, because 5% of the script, related to its unique UI is proprietary but full auditable and even moddeable by the user, the rest is a full de-googled Chromium, no data goes to Google. Vivaldi has less relations with Google than Firefox, especially if you sync with Mozilla, which now with inbuild AI also isn't full OpenSource. No logs, no tracking, ee2e no-knowledge sync, more additional services than any other browser (e-mail, own user blog, Vivaldi Social on Mastodon, mail client, feed reader, calendar......). Vivaldi is an european employee owned cooperative from Norway, founded by Jon von Tetzchner, without any third party investors to remain independent.
Vivaldi source code for the peace of mind of our FOSS fans https://vivaldi.com/source/
This is blatantly and easily verifiably false - Jon von Tetzchner owns 81% of the company via Vivaldi Invest AS
I just hope you're genuinely uninformed and aren't intentionally misleading people but this makes me mistrust everything you've written.
