Shameless plug, but Vivaldi does this and so much more natively...since beta however many years ago. Haven't touched firefox since.

Vivaldi is Chromium but without google, a ton of cool power user features, and closed source. It's fast if Chrome is fast.

Curious about Vivaldi. What does it offer on top of Chromium that you find useful?

I’m wondering if Vivaldi is a good option?

Vivaldi is still chromium based.

I'm having high hopes for Vivaldi. Chromium with less bloatware but with real Operawesomeness.

There is Vivaldi. I used for my work daily driver and it been working well for me. One thing I like about it that it didn't have the bloat from Chrome and Brave.
