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.

I used to love Vivaldi, but eventually it being a chromium browser forced me to switch back to Firefox and it's children. If they switched over to using Firefox as a base rather than chromium then I'd consider it.
Have you tried Floorp yet ? It's pretty good, you may find some things really neat coming from Vivaldi.
I might give it a shot. It looks like a good alternative. Thanks for the recommendation.
