I concur with the notion, but there's already a isSnapshot override for vivaldi package. It's unclear, however, how to properly use it, as it just makes it to try to fetch the same stable version with "unstable" suffix, which fails.

Error

Can you link me to that override?

Can you link me to that override?

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/vivaldi/default.nix#L14C3-L14C13

It was added 5 years ago, the versioning was probably different.

Until an official nixpkg for vivaldi-snapshots is rolled out, you can override the current stable vivaldi nixpkg with the following:

home.packages =
  let
        vivaldi =
          (pkgs.vivaldi.override {
            isSnapshot = true;
          }).overrideAttrs
            (_: {
              src =
                let
                  version = "7.0.3495.5";
                in
                pkgs.fetchurl {
                  url = "https://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot/vivaldi-snapshot_${version}-1_amd64.deb";
                  hash = "sha256-Y+weoZWFlnoGXa31bDmVMcXvU5fd6gX7zd7r2VKPZLk=";
                };
            });
  in
  [ vivaldi ]

Note: If you are new to overrides, be sure to update the version number line and the base64 hash line with the latest version's info.
