That might be
ondering if a way round the issue may be to unistall
vivaldi, then install epiphany, then re-install vivaldi. It might be
that just doing 'apt reinstall vivaldi' will get me back to where I
want to be.
When I get home tomorrow I'll try it, I'm a bit on the move at the

Have you considered you may get better information if you actually
define this "everything"? For me it's the small handful of apps I
mentioned

might work (though still gives the environment/settings question).
