As a Vivaldi user I'm quite happy to see my default browser as a default for Manjaro Cinnamon. I've been using it since 1.x on both desktop and mobile (after they added the adblocker).
From my point of view, I try FOSS alternatives but if I don't like them... I don't like to spend time changing CSS files or messing with configurations. I spent quite a lot of time doing just that for Pale Moon and then Firefox. These days, I just use closed ones (or none).
But... From the FOSS point of view, Vivaldi is closed source and we shouldn't use it.
I keep ungoogled-chromium as an alternative on my desktop devices and Bromite on Android for sensitive stuff (things like banking).
Still, I hope that someday Vivaldi makes its source available. Even if it's mostly a custom Chromium base with a React user interface (and quite complete actually) on top.
- taylodl 5y agoA few months ago I went on a quest to find a new browser. I settled on Vivaldi (and I tried just about every browser there is!) It's quite simply the best browser I've ever used. I love the tab groups, the speed dial, the way it manages bookmarks, the notes - it's just a lot of small things that really make it a great browser to use.
