BleachBit 6.0 Stable Release Adds Full Support for Vivaldi Browser
This is mostly a duplicate post regarding the BleachBit utility now including support for the Vivaldi browser for Windows and Linux. BleachBit is a free and open-source disk space cleaner, privacy manager, and computer system optimizer. Please note that I am in no way affiliated with BleachBit (other than being a user) and have received no compensation of any kind for posting this information.
My original post immediately followed the beta release of BleachBit that initially included support for Vivaldi. I am reposting for those of you that would rather use fully tested stable releases.
Here's a lightly edited version of my initial post:

Some time ago, I reached out to the folks that develop BleachBit system cleaning, asking them to support the Vivaldi browser, specifically the "Vacuum" function which defragments the browser's SQLite data. Today I received word that Vivaldi is fully supported in the latest BleachBit beta release (5.1.2). (As stated above, BleachBit 6.0 (stable) includes support for Vivaldi.)
For those of you that face performance issues with Vivaldi, one thing that I suggest is defragmenting the SQLite data. In the past, I recommended the somewhat outdated Speedyfox app, so it's good to know that an actively developed, FOSS application is now available to perform this task.
EDIT: Please note that BleachBit is available only for Windows and Linux: https://www.bleachbit.org/download
