Glad they're showing respect for privacy. A pity about that 3% closed source.

Been using Vivaldi for long time. And received about 3 updates this week. But it's working fine here.

I use it as a backup browser for when Firefox blows-up.
vivaldi-stable:
Installed: 4.3.2439.44-1
Candidate: 4.3.2439.44-1

Just wish they would add arm64 to the Vivaldi repos.
