Vivaldi as default browser in a linux distribution
-
Hello,
I have been working on a linux distribution for some time. One of the things I want to do is to offer Vivaldi as default browser.
I don't know if I can do this legally. Could someone from the team tell me something about it?
Regards,
Javier

@javiergbarroso There are at least two Linux distros that do this, so obviously, it's legal. Most Linux distros won't do it, because Vivaldi is not strictly FOSS, so it's sacrilege to include it by default, but Vivaldi will (it seems) totally support your desire to include it in your distro.
You would want to email the Vivaldi team and set things up to both your and their satisfaction. You wouldn't want to just go off half-cocked and do it without consulting them.
I don't see them around the forums, so you want to email them. I think it's https://vivaldi.com/contact/

Hello,
nice to see you here!
Vivaldi will be thrilled.
As @falconeer has already said, it's a good idea to send Vivaldi an e-mail.
The team can also help to integrate the browser.

@falconeer said in Vivaldi as default browser in a linux distribution:

Vivaldi team members are very often in the forum.
But an e-mail is good for things like this.
But it's also interesting for us to hear about it.

Is this, on your large profile picture, your own photo of "Los Gigantes" on Tennerife, Spain?
