@Ruarí said in Upgrade to Chromium 114 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3023.3:
throw everything away and start from scratch
we accept your generous offer. can it be ready by friday, say around lunchtime?
Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!

request to the Mods pls.
@Ruarí has posted some extremely valuable info on the flatpak challenge in this thread, but inevitably it'll get lost once this thread closes with ongoing snappies. afaik there's at least one "dedicated" flatpak thread. can all the fp posts in this current thread pls be copied into that other thread, so that all relevant info on this ongoing topic is centralised?

and I wanted to propose to make a blog-post from it
-
oh, & also, which Mod will be brave enough to flag @Ruarí for repeatedly going off-topic in this thread? shouldn't he be forced to read the t&c?

And getting more complaints on why Flatpak isn't baked yet even if insecure (blog posts are shared on all vivaldi socials).
@ybjrepnfr I'd simply add the link to Ruario analysis to the feature request, so here.
You can just flag the feature request for moderation asking to add the information provided here by Rue in the first post.Patience Is The Key To Get The Vivaldi Spree | Unsupported Extensions | Github | w11 + Kde Manjaro + Android 13

Well, I thought it would be interesting read for flatpak users
Another idea! Bake Flatpak simultaneously with the blog-post!

@Stardust As long the oven stays on 180°. Btw, the fact is the post blog will make a popular feature request with low chances of implementation even more popular.
I'm not really against, but I already see the pattern of "we are in 20xx ... where is my [exploitable] flatpak?"
Now the
is up to

sounds better!

@ybjrepnfr @pafflick that's great, thanks very much. this should * hopefully make it easier for future discussions to be also appended here rather than randomly spread across the forum.
* note that i deliberately said should, not would, given... history.

Well, how could we possibly reject your generous offer of a 100 million AUD donation to make that project a reality? Although we might have a little misunderstanding there - we said we will start on Friday (around lunchtime). And the first step would be figuring out where to put the 42 pairs of koala bears you said your donation would include (for some reason).

@pafflick beats me why there's this strange assumption of my nationality, almost as if some peeps rudely disbelieve that i am a complete noob here, from Tierra del Fuego if you must know, unversed in the vivaldi ways, still carefully trying to learn & understand what tabs are...

@ybjrepnfr Please back on topic "Desktop Feature Requests / Flatpak support "

me too!
I don't need snap or non-official flatpak, just verified flatpak
-
I completely understand Vivaldi's concerns with releasing an official Flatpak package, and I thank them for clarifying.
Since an official flatpak is not viable at this time, would it be possible for the Vivaldi team to share how they got their internal test flatpak to work? So then someone from the community could easily make an unofficial zypak based flatpak which is not ideal but still a big improvement.

i Agree.

Good to know a flatpak package is in the works.
In the meanwhile, you can install Vivaldi in toolbox (container).
And to make it accessible from gnome shell, just copy the following files inside the container:/usr/share/applications/vivaldi-stable.desktop -> /home/<user>/.local/share/applications/vivaldi-stable.desktopAnd
/usr/share/icons/hicolor -> /home/<user>/.local/share/icons/hicolorFinally edit the new vivaldi-stable.desktop file.
Change each Exec command as below:Exec=/usr/bin/vivaldi-stable %U -> Exec=toolbox run vivaldi %U(keep the % portion as it in each case)
