Vivaldi is decent IMO but there are some telemetry some might find distracting. BTW, are you using Windows? What do you mean there’s no easy way to update Ungoogled Chromium?

Then maybe I can make you discover a very nice tool : Winget or chocolatey whichever you want to use. They both can be used in cli.

However, I personally like the WingetUI software. Nice looking and supports winget, chocolatey, scoop and other. It also automatically checks for updates. It can either give you a notification, or maybe even auto update. Tho I’m not sure if it would solve your complete reinstall each time.

To install wingetUI : Search for powershel > open without administrator privilege > type “winget install wingetui” > enter. Follow and read.

Once installed you ca launch it and choose the sources (I recommend selecting winget and chocolatey at least, I like winget better than chocolatey as version numbers are closer to the real one). it also auto updates on launch.

And to install it, just search for it :

You can also install though winget or chocolatey without wingetui, but you’ll have to update manually through the cli.

Are you sure about the telemetry? Just watched an interview between the CEO and Techlore. And the CEO said that there is strictly no telemetrics…

The one I know about1 is the data being sent every 24 hours with a unique ID that they use to count active users. I’m not sure, I mostly do trust they won’t do anything weird with this and use Vivaldi sometimes, I guess it’s up to you to decide if you want to continue using.
