Vivaldi Browser - It's come a long way

Add Zen to the list. I have it installed & keeping both eyes on it. Yesterday, Saturday, they were a happy surprise to me. In the morning, it was checked as out of date in the AUR (with 10-15-2024 as last updated). Early in the same evening, it got updated. And late at night I got a 2nd update!!! That on a Saturday to Sunday. Do the look committed to the project!!!

as for firefox future, don’t worry MS has your back :wink:

Add world peace to that list as well.

That seems way more likely than Hurd ever being viable for a broad use-case. :rofl:

you can create the color schemes yourself. If the tabs are too small, write a CSS file. I made one to make the link list that I have horizontally bigger.

create a custom.css and write this in it:

.tab {
font-family: ‘Arial’ !important;
font-size: 11pt !important;
}

.bookmark-bar {
font-family: ‘Arial’ !important;
font-size: 11pt !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tabs{
font-family: ‘Arial’ !important;
font-size: 11px !important;
}

Done. In vivaldi, use vivaldi://exteriments to allow the CS modification and then say in the settings where this file is located.

Done

Certainly looks interesting, if same-y to Chromium/Brave.

I hate the crypto-gimmick of Brave. And as for any needed privacy, Vivaldi seems quite capable and customizable…

I don’t see anything there that has a material impact on privacy other than tracker blocking but that is a pretty small thing in the grand scheme of privacy.

To be clear, I am not implying that you need more privacy, that is up to the individual. I am just pointing out that if you are trusting those settings to protect your privacy, that probably isn’t the case.
