F-droid the website, yes. But the option to host your own f-droid repository is open to companies like Vivaldi as well.

[anderslund@expressional.social]

@leeloo @lebochequirit @Vivaldi @IzzyOnDroid Also for closed-source apps?? That is kinda disheartening, although a user of course decide which external repos to install.

[leeloo@chaosfem.tw]

@anderslund @lebochequirit @Vivaldi @IzzyOnDroid
An f-droid repo is basically a list of APKs - plus some signing stuff. There is no way it could differentiate between closed and open source (at least as long as whoever is building the repo has the code).

[anderslund@expressional.social]

@leeloo @lebochequirit @Vivaldi @IzzyOnDroid Well, f-droid users have to be carefull then

[gustodon@mas.to]

@Vivaldi It looks like you're doing great work. Now let's hurl some alt-text on those images so I can boost your posts.

@anderslund @lebochequirit @Vivaldi @IzzyOnDroid
Same as adding untrusted repos to any other package manager.

• Manifest V2 extensions won't work but Manifest V3 AI extensions will "Because Vivaldi is built using the Chromium web browser project, extensions available in the Chrome Web Store can also be installed in Vivaldi."

• if liked the Big Tech browser engine Chromium used by Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, Brave, etc... that would be okay but I am de-googling so no Google Chromium based Vivaldi for me.

• if liked tabs, I guess Vivaldi would be cool, but I absolutely cannot stand tabs.

@Vivaldi Really thinking about switching to Vivaldi now as this is a feature I wanted for years already.. But I dont really want to give Google a complete monopoly on their rendering engine

@mmphosis @Vivaldi
So, Vivaldi is not for you. But the , why are you commenting? Find a browser that is for you, and go comment on there instead.

[mmphosis@mastodon.social]

@leeloo @Vivaldi Vivaldi could be for me. I am commenting here because the web browser for me does not exist. Allow Manifest V2 extensions; use a different browser engine like Servo, LibWeb, or build your own; and if Vivaldi was truly customizable I could turn off tabs amongst other features.

@Vivaldi the new update is amazing! Thank you, team Vivaldi!

I think this may be the longest toot on record. Can anyone verify?
Also, nice browser.

[moosader@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Vivaldi I want to retoot this but the quote toot within is so long

[leeloo@chaosfem.tw]

@mmphosis @Vivaldi
Vivaldi allows manifest V2 extensions, but they don't have the manpower to keep them working once upstream removes the code.

The tab bar can be turned off.

Using a different browser engine basically means a different browser, so if that's a requirement, then no, Vivaldi is not for you. As for building their own browser engine, again, they don't have the manpower.

You could try building your own browser - you're probably the same number of developers short of having the manpower to pull it off as they are.

@Vivaldi As mentioned in your post, the previous implementation of Pinned Tabs never made sense to me. Restricting the pinned tab to a particular domain is a good step. However, I would like to see a keyboard shortcut that returns the pinned tab to the original pinned URL. Dia offers that option.

@Vivaldi So much text in a single post!

[bwacton@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi just loaded it and going to give it a try, any tips for a new user?

[gelsomore645@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi I love this!️

Sigh, it seems like I'm back where I started.
I used the Opera browser for years when first coming to Linux. I just managed to pay to remove the nag banner before It went free
Then when it became just another chrome clone I switched to #Firefox, but given the latest "We heard you and we don't give a shit; here's some more AI" it seems I'll be giving #Vivaldi a try.
I have also been switching to #LibreWolf. Let's do a real A-B test
