Because those extensions are made and published for the Chrome web browser. Wouldn't this infringe copyright or some shit?

Lolno. Copyright on what? There was some drama about copyrightable APIs when oracle tried to squeeze money out of google, but it was ruled that there was no infringement. Anyway chrome is based on the open source chromium, which anyone is free to do with what they want (well, within the license agreement) which includes making vivaldi. which then obviously means vivaldi is going to support chrome extensions, because its a shitty clone
