Vivaldi is a web browser from former Opera founder & team members, based on Chromium and focused on personalization aspects.

## Installation

Vivaldi can be installed with vivaldi or vivaldi-snapshotAUR. Prebuilt packages can alternatively be found in the herecura unofficial repository.

To use Qt instead of GTK dialogs for file selections just install kdialog.

## Extensions

Vivaldi is compatible with most of Chrome's extensions. These can be installed directly from the Chrome Web Store. To see which extensions are installed/enabled, type `vivaldi://extensions` in the address bar.

See also Wikipedia:Google Chrome Extension.

## Media playback

To enable proprietary media (H264, AAC, etc.) playback support:

- install vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs
- start Vivaldi fresh (after update or fresh install), close Vivaldi and restart again
- use the vivaldi-update-ffmpeg-hookAUR from AUR

If you still need flash you can install pepper-flashAUR.
