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.

How is this relevant to Linux? FF release notes get posted here, as FF is the de facto standard browser on Linux distros. Vivaldi isn't.
I do not want to judge on Vivaldi, I am merely questioning its relevancy to the community here.
I'm using Manjaro. Firefox is the distro's default browser.
On Manjaro GNOME, the default is Firefox.
I use Vivaldi as secondary to Firefox (when necessary), and I agree with you. How's this related to Linux?
