Probably not. The "good" Chromium forks (that excludes Edge and Opera for example) usually remove this kind of thing as much as possible. Also, the article explicitly mentions Chrome so it seemingly hasn't been a thing in Chromium anyway.
That being said, Vivaldi is not open source so only their devs can really answer the question what data they collect on you. I'd suggest Librewolf as an open source alternative. It's not based on Chromium and focuses on preventing sites from fingerprinting/profiling you.
