awesome!
In the long run it might also make the online transcoding tools with the "Start now" [to download malware]-button obsolete.

Funnily I talked about this [soon solved] problem with my funder @clemensg by phone today.

#transcoding #encoding #video #browser #ffmpeg #webassembly #clientside #videoconverter

just et. al. too
please save us from uploading duplicate files or journalists from writing alt twice with clientside content-id comparison.

That's a neat idea!

Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.

I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html

Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.

I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.

I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.

My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!

Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

I was on a new podcast called WTF Now. My episode is called How the internet went wrong. Sad title, but you will understand when you listen.

This is really back to my strong belief that we need regulation when it comes to user profiling. IMHO it should just be banned. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

This is our take on Crypto. It has not changed. There is a reason why we have not included Crypto in Vivaldi.

We are very proud of the features we have added, but we also proud of the "features" we have not added.

Break free from Big Tech's behavioral tracking and data selling.

Vivaldi respects your privacy: no profiling, no selling your browsing data, just browsing on your terms. ✅

Ditching Edge is easier than ever. One simple click, and your browser data has been moved over.

Video shows a user on Windows 11 navigating to Vivaldi.com to download the latest version of the Vivaldi web browser. The user installs the browser, imports browser data with a simple click, and voilà: ready to go!

So far this year we have seen nice growth in many European countries. We have doubled our userbase in Norway and Denmark, to name two.

More and more are looking for alternatives to Big Tech and we are happy to provide that alternative when it comes to browsers. We also provide a mail client, calendar and RSS reader on Windows, Mac and Linux.

If you have already switched to @Vivaldi, please invite your friends.
