Vivaldi's a good European web browser

It is Chromium, however, and not fully Open Source. I recommend Librewolf or Waterfox, open source forks of firefox.

I'm still pretty new to the foss community (just installed Linux Mint on a VERY old computer so I can get some experience under my belt!) But I was wondering if you knew of a way to download Waterfox without using the Play Store? Thanks!

I don't know where they release it tbh, i use Fennec on mobile which removes the mozilla tracking from Firefox just like Waterfox does, but you can install it from f-droid
