+## What it is
+
+Vivaldi is a web browser built on Chromium by Vivaldi Technologies, a company started by former Opera developers. Its focus is customization: tabs can go on any side of the window and stack into groups, toolbars and keyboard shortcuts can be rearranged, and pages can be tiled side by side.
+
+It also includes a built-in ad and tracker blocker, notes, and optional mail, calendar and feed reader apps. Vivaldi's interface is not open source, though the Chromium code it builds on is.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Arrange it your way.** Almost every part of the interface can be moved, hidden or remapped.
+- **More in one window.** Mail, calendar and feeds sit alongside your tabs if you want them.
+- **Chrome-compatible.** Chrome extensions install and Chrome-only sites work.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+CoreDesktop installs Vivaldi as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid. Helium is CoreDesktop's default browser; to make Vivaldi the default instead, pick it in **Settings › Apps › Default Apps**.
+
+The sandboxed AI agents can't read Vivaldi's profile, as they can't read any Flatpak app's data. `update` keeps Vivaldi current along with your other Flatpaks.
