From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
Floorp is made by 3 guys in a basement. Dont count on it being around.
If they go, I'm forking it and maintaining it myself (or finding extensions to replicate the workspaces behaviour). I can't see my desktop browsing experience without workspaces anymore.
