Vivaldi Browser Flatpak

This is a testing repository for trying to build the Vivaldi Browser into a Flatpak.

Building

• clone repository
• cd into the repository folder
• run this command to build flatpak-builder build-dir org.vivaldi.Vivaldi.json --install --user
• run this command to execute the package in testing flatpak run org.vivaldi.Vivaldi

Assumptions

• Browswer requires similar dependencies to other browsers (Edge, FireFox, Chromium)

* Widevine and ffmpeg need to work properly for the browser to be successful

• Widewine and ffmpeg works!

• LD_Preload is going to be a problem as it is required for both zypak and Vivaldi
