The one I know about1 is the data being sent every 24 hours with a unique ID that they use to count active users. I’m not sure, I mostly do trust they won’t do anything weird with this and use Vivaldi sometimes, I guess it’s up to you to decide if you want to continue using.
i have that issue as well, sometimes it’s missing results and other times i get the same result repeated on page 2. not sure why that happens, but i guess it’s just a bit buggy.
