Hi All,
Any of you guys use the Vivaldi browser? Any thoughts
on it?

I switched to the Vivaldi browser and away from Google Chrome, for one
very good reason: Vivaldi does not track you. Google does.
Oddly enough, Vivaldi uses the Google App Store for all extensions. So,
with rare exception, anything that works on Chrome works on Vivaldi.
And now Vivaldi is available, even if in Beta form, on Android devices.
Vivaldi doesn't seem able to recognize itself as the default browser on
Fedora. I always make a setting to open all URLs in Vivaldi. That takes
care of that problem.
Vivaldi has its own repository, as does Google Chrome. So as long as you
enable it, you'll get the latest stable version.
Vivaldi also has its own community of users. It is as much a
cross-platform browser as is Firefox.
The search engine of choice on Vivaldi is not Google, but Bing--the
Microsoft search engine. I always change this to DuckDuckGo. You can in
fact install a variety of search engines.
I recommend Vivaldi without hesitation or qualification as the browser
of choice. (Unless you are a Tor user, in which case you would use Tor's
own browser.)
