Last I read [1] Vivaldi was one of the chattier browsers out there [2], generating a unique ID for you, and building from source also was not actually possible. Wonder if this has changed, and how Manjaro handles the building. Much of Vivaldi's components are closed source (the mail client for instance).

- kunagi7 5y agoManjaro used to do nothing around Vivaldi's package. It's just the inherited community/vivaldi package from the Arch Linux's repositories. I have a Manjaro and an Arch Linux machine with me so I can just type "pacman -Qi vivaldi" on both of them and reveal the package's information: Name : vivaldi Version : 4.1.2369.21-1 Description : An advanced browser made with the power user in mind. Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://vivaldi.com https://vivaldi.com [...] Installed Size : 278,59 MiB Packager : Ike Devolder <ike.devolder@gmail.com> [...] The same result comes out on both machines.
