To be able to run on W 7?

Windows 7 is no longer supported by Vivaldi since 2023:

Windows 7 and 8.1 users need to know that Vivaldi 5.7 does not support their operating systems anymore. Vivaldi announced the change back in 2022, stating that it would follow Chromium, the base of the browser.

So what's the meaning of 142 ESR (with security fix of 143 includede)? why not 143 such as Chrome, Edge, and Brave?

Vivaldi reminds me of Libreoffice, plenty of features and customization, but there is something wrong.

So what's the meaning of 142 ESR (with security fix of 143 includede)? why not 143 such as Chrome, Edge, and Brave?

The point of ESR is avoiding bugs that the Chrome developers introduce in new releases. And until a new ESR releases, those bugs are ironed out. With much less frequent feature changes that may introduce vulnerabilities, exploits or cause issues, but still want the existing features to get their security issues patched.

In one word: stability.
