Vivaldi browser for Debian/Ubuntu

[GoOSSBears]

Besides web browsers Firefox, Chrom[e]|[ium], Dillo, and a few others, there is now an evolved, post-1.0 version of the Vivaldi browser[1] available for download and use for Debian/Ubuntu. Am using this now as I write this email.

Apparently[2], members of the current Vivaldi team[3] previously involved with developing the Opera browser[4] didn't like the direction Opera was going following this Summer's $$ 1/2 Billion+ acquisition by a Chinese business consortium[5].
Bay Area-local Cupertino Tatsuki Tomita[6] co-founded Vivaldi and is the current COO.

Vivaldi Stable 1.4.x for Debian/Ubuntu is available as a downloadable 32bit or 64bit .deb file at [7] and instructions for installation are at [8] and here:
~~~~~~~~ quoting ~~~~~~~~
*How to install Vivaldi Stable on 32 bit systems using deb packages:* 
$ wget https://vivaldi.com/download/stable/vivaldi-stable_1.0.435.40-1_i386.deb -O vivaldi-stable_i386.deb 
$ sudo dpkg -i vivaldi-stable_i386.deb 

*How to install Vivaldi Stable on 64 bit systems using deb packages:*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good help on using Vivaldi is thru its Knowledgebase at [09].

Mostly glowing reviews of Vivaldi at its own [10] links, and slightly less glowing Vivaldi reviews at [11] and [12].
