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 dont use Vivaldi haha, but their installation is so weird that I wanted to fix that.
  I use Firefox and since bubblejail has support for firefoxes name on Fedora (bubblejail is strange) I tried it and got memory issues or something, pretty crazy.
  I think vivaldi is just as fine as regular Chromium, probably slower patches. A debloated Brave will be better for privacy.
- 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.
  
  This. It's incredibly customizable, I'd daily drive it of it didn't mean contributing to the Chromium monopoly
- I use it for a few years now, it's very customizable. In my opinion the best Chromium-based browser. I recommend either Vivaldi or Firefox depending on your needs.
  
  I would never use Vivaldi just because it is closed source, doesnt add proper fingerprinting protections, and does not provide a secure default config. Cromite and Brave are better options (for me).

Cool! Thanks for building this
