Is there any good reason to use Vivaldi? Nice to see more scripts from you. I have been thinking about making some scripts to automate the deployment of Bubblejail profiles for different apps. I don't run nearly anything without sandboxing, and Bubblejail does not interfer with the Chromium sandbox.

I don't use it, but from what I understand it's from the developers of Opera before it became a Chinese spyware browser. Back when it was good. It's great if you're looking for customization and options.

As a disclaimer, the reason I don't use it is because I need a Chromium browser for work and Vivaldi (a Chromium based browser) gave me an error that said I need to use Chrome or Edge.

Vivaldi is chromium based though? I use it at work with all the Google tools.

I know it is. That's exactly why I mentioned that happening. Sorry if that was unclear.

ETA: I just read my previous comment again. I meant to say Vivaldi, not Opera.

That makes more sense :)

I guess they use a weird way to detect browser? I wonder if changing user agent string would work? There’s a ”user agent brand masking“ setting in Vivaldi.
