Yet another reason to stop using Chrome: Gemini is coming right into the browser, including the address bar ("Omni bar") by default. These features are computationally expensive at scale, privacy-destroying, and just plain annoying.

Der Vivaldi-Browser ist kommerzversifft. Habe gerade Vivaldi Stable eingerichtet, nachdem ich nicht mehr weiß, ob meine Snapshot-Version noch Updates bekommt, da .list Dateien für Debian 13 veraltet sind. Wie mensch eine .sources Datei für Vivaldi Snapshot schreibt, wird ja nirgends erklärt und Suchmaschinen werden auch immer scheißiger, weil Kommerz und KI vor gehen.

@mttaggart Sorry for the German. Looks like dot list files in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d still work with Debian Trixie, but I wonder why I could not find an example of a dot sources file for the Vivaldi repository. Due to AI and commercialization search engines do not help much. To set up Vivaldi stable made me sick too with all that built in consumer stuff. At least it's only my secondary browser and a lot of things can be turned off.
