How is this relevant to Linux? FF release notes get posted here, as FF is the de facto standard browser on Linux distros. Vivaldi isn’t.

I do not want to judge on Vivaldi, I am merely questioning its relevancy to the community here.

I use Vivaldi as secondary to Firefox (when necessary), and I agree with you. How’s this related to Linux?

On Manjaro GNOME, the default is Firefox.

I’m using Manjaro. Firefox is the distro’s default browser.

I used to love Vivaldi, but eventually it being a chromium browser forced me to switch back to Firefox and it’s children. If they switched over to using Firefox as a base rather than chromium then I’d consider it.

Have you tried Floorp yet ? It’s pretty good, you may find some things really neat coming from Vivaldi.

Oh look, Netscape Navigator is back.

They used to say that every product evolves until it can send mail. In that sense, this is now a mature product.

Of course nowadays no product is finished without built-in LLM functionality, so I’ll wait for that

Am liking Vivaldi, but along with WereCat, I have no use for it’s email section.

Am concerned that when Google does it’s thing, Vivaldi will break. Is there any danger of that happening?

As far as I know Vivaldi is quite prepared to get things working as much as possible with Manifest V3 and putting a lot of work in their own adblocker as well because of it.

There is a version of UBlock Origin that works with V3 but it is limited compared to normal one, will see how it goes but for now I think they can delay with the V3 update for some time.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
