Making HTML5 video and Adobe Flash work in vivaldi on Fedora 28 is quite easy.
Install Vivaldi on Fedora 28 with fedy
vivaldi is very cool chromium-based web browser which is a lot more user-friendly than any other I know at the moment available for Linux. It supports all the extensions from the store, and it’s Development Tools look exactly like a developer has been used to, so there is no reason not to take advantage from using it. The only fix you have to take care of is making video and, optionally, Adobe Flash work on it.
