Provide a permanent download link
-
Hi everyone and Vivaldi team
right now in vivaldi.com I can only download current version with the link available in the site, I want to use permanent link to my website, people use it for download
Like Firefox, Like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera
all of them already have permanent download links for all versions (pc 32-bit, 64-bit, mac, android, etc)or
as you can see firefox using latest&os, anytime you click the link you will download latest version of firefox
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win64&lang=en-USor
http://www.opera.com/download/get/?partner=www&opsys=Windows
and here is for Vivaldi
https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/Vivaldi.2.11.1811.52.x64.exe
it's not permanent version, because of when new version come, link must change for new version
I want one link for latest version, until I can use it at anytime

@AHMNco Anyone may think that their own feature request is urgent for them; that is why they took the trouble to post it.
Currently, there are over 2,500 feature requests, several of which are years old and have over 100 upvotes.
Please edit your thread title to be less demanding.
I submitted a bug report for this issue. Perhaps I will hear from the developers what their reasons are for not using a permanent download link.

@AHMNco I flagged your post for a moderator's attention.
I think there should be no time limit on editing posts. Perhaps you have insufficient reputation points because you're new here. There are measures in placed to slow down spammers.

about the post. -
I think it is a good safety measure to prevent hotlinking, because what do you, the user or Vivaldi gain from it?
The downloader may...
- want to see what is it that they are downloading
- use a different OS
- use 32-bit
- use an unsupported system (iOS)
Better link the user to https://vivaldi.com/download/ where there are different options available for downloading.
