Vivaldi is another Chromium based browser, but not fully open-source. And to my surprise, Manjaro Cinnamon actually ditched Firefox for Vivaldi as their default web browser. In case you're an Arch Linux user or didn't install the Cinnamon edition of Manjaro, this tutorial will cover how to install Vivaldi in single line of command.

Vivaldi's official download page only provides .deb and .rpm packages for Linux installation:

Microsoft Edge is growing fast since it embraced the power of Chromium. According to some online data, it has become the 3rd most popular browser.

Two Ways to Install Packages from AUR on Arch Linux/Manjaro

Just like Debian/Ubuntu's package manager apt, Arch Linux/Manjaro has its own package manager called pacman to help you install packages. But the story doesn't end there.

Configure PPPoE DSL Connection on Arch Linux/Manjaro with pppoe-setup

Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) offer multiple dynamic IP addresses and even come with a static one. To take advantage of that, we'll be setting up a PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection on our own machine to obtain an independent IP address.
