A vivaldi.net account requires a mobile number, so while the claims of no tracking might be true now it is entirely possible whenever desired or compelled to. I also wouldn't want to put all my eggs in one basket if you are false positively flagged in the social hellscape you might lose your mail access too.

> The number is used to verify the account and make sure that it's really you. It gives you access to all Vivaldi services.
