I daily drive Firefox, but more and more websites are starting to break without Chromium, so I still have to occasionally switch to get something working. I was using Ungoogled Chromium until I realized that there was no easy way to update it when that pixel-stealing exploit came out a while back.
To be clear, I’m not talking about stock “no settings changed” Vivaldi. With that requirement, even Firefox could be called invasive! What I want to know is if Vivaldi is relatively safe to use with all the telemetry and stuff disabled in the settings and using any necessary extensions.
Thanks!
Yeah, Windows unfortunately. You have to completely reinstall it every time. Unless you constantly check for updates, you’ll be behind on security.
Then maybe I can make you discover a very nice tool : Winget or chocolatey whichever you want to use. They both can be used in cli.
However, I personally like the WingetUI software. Nice looking and supports winget, chocolatey, scoop and other. It also automatically checks for updates. It can either give you a notification, or maybe even auto update. Tho I’m not sure if it would solve your complete reinstall each time.
To install wingetUI : Search for powershel > open without administrator privilege > type “winget install wingetui” > enter. Follow and read.
Once installed you ca launch it and choose the sources (I recommend selecting winget and chocolatey at least, I like winget better than chocolatey as version numbers are closer to the real one). it also auto updates on launch.
And to install it, just search for it :
You can also install though winget or chocolatey without wingetui, but you’ll have to update manually through the cli.
Wow, awesome! I’ll have to look into it when I have a chance.
