Why Vivaldi over something like Brave or Ungoogled Chromium for your odd thing that requires it?

[–] DidacticDumbass@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly that would be better. I use Vivaldi out of pure convenience. It is in my package manager as a native app. Brave is awkward, only through flatpak, which I don't mind but not a first choice. I am hesistant to use anything that pushes cryptocurrency. I would rather outright pay for a browser than look at advertisements.

The odd thing is actually the Peterson Strobe Tuner app, and I guess it needs chromium for direct access to the hardware.
