    Vivaldi’s theming feels… broken for me, so I can’t really see myself switching to it. I should mention, however, that Vivaldi is my only real option if something happens to Floorp. What can I say, I like my workspaces on desktop, bottom tab bar on mobile, and good sync across devices.

    Edit: Full list of reasons:

    No way to have bookmarks only show on a new tab

    Inconsistent tab bar view (super compact and good-looking when window is maximised, but has pointless, inconsistent and weird gaps across parts of the top and bottom of tab bar otherwise)

    No way to completely disable panel and all its features

    Optional: No way (that I could find) to disable/hide speed dial Fix: switch back to using Tabliss

    No way (that I could find) to fully disable/remove the Vivaldi button

    Vivaldi settings sync saves and syncs only so much, so things like custom keybinds within Vivaldi (like switching from Ctrl to Alt for the modifier for tab switching) won’t be saved



  • In an ideal world a flatpak could register the cli commands it wants to present to the user, and some alternatives system could manage which flatpak gets which command if there were collisions.

    This has been my dream ever since I discovered Flatpak. I wish it becomes the case one day.

    It’s good that there has been partial progress in that direction. Let me give an example with the Floorp browser. I can do a flatpak install floorp and I can do a killall floorp and they will work. If we can somehow get a way of accessing flatpaks as if they’re regular packages via the terminal (is it possible to build a program to do this and have it packaged as a flatpak?; Maybe a program that creates a oneliner script to act as an “alias” in a directory (within $HOME so it works on immutable systems) that gets added to $PATH), that would be amazing!
