This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing and using the Vivaldi browser on a Linux Ubuntu 22.04 system. Vivaldi is a freeware, cross-platform web browser developed by Vivaldi Technologies. It gained popularity after many disgruntled Opera users were unhappy with the change from the Presto layout engine to a Chromium-based browser.

Vivaldi has since become one of the most popular alternative internet browsers alongside the big three - Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Step 1: Add the GPG Key

Open the terminal and execute the following command on the command prompt to add the GPG key to sign the packages of Vivaldi:

sudo apt install wget gnupg2 ubuntu-keyring

Integrate the GPG key:

wget -O- https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/vivaldi.gpg

Step 2: Add Vivaldi repository on Ubuntu 22.04

Well, unlike the popular FireFox browser, we cannot install Vivaldi using the system repository of Ubuntu 22.04. Hence, we are left with two options, one is either download the Debian binary of the browser and install it or add the repository for the same, manually:

echo deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/vivaldi.gpg] https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb/ stable main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list
