At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.

Our servers are based in Iceland.

If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

Have a nice day!

@jon In fact, I really want to see a built-in translation feature for YouTube and PeerTube videos in the future.

@jon @peterbrown Have you quit adding a link to Amazon built in? If so, I'll try it again. If not, get lost!

@jon Iceland is a wonderful country with forward-looking legislation, but as a sparsely populated country like Greenland, it is vulnerable to invasion and occupation by bigger powers as occurred during WW2.

Do you have any contingency plans if Mad King Trump decides he'd like to add Iceland as a bauble to his empire?

@jon Last time I tried Vivaldi, I recall facing some #accessibility issues. Have you chosen to prioritize that aspect of user requested improvement, or should I look elsewhere? :)

@jon Hello Vivaldi, can you drop the chrome engine and use the Ladybug one? I think that would be great to reduce the power and influence of google over the internet!

@jon @inthehands This browser is very nice, but I would love for it to do one thing, be a bit more privet. Would be super cool if you would scramble the fingerprint on it, to provide another layer of security, without the need for plugins.

@jon They are a wrapper around google's browser engine (Chromium) and refuse to open source their code... How much could they possibly respect your privacy?

@jon Vivaldi is my daily drive. You share my values about what the internet should be. And you give Vivaldi users a place on the Fediverse. Most of all, it's a great browser. Thanks for what you do.

@jon

It looked promising when I checked it out, but I'd humbly recommend that either the Google checkboxes be unchecked by default, or the user is shown a message during setup pointing them out.

@jon Vivaldi is still a problem. Your browser is not only closed source software, but it is based on Chromium, meaning you are just another Google browser, like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. I am unhappy with Firefox at the moment, but I will keep using it, as I refuse to support Google.

@jon @palemoon and @librewolf are doing UI better without the need for a sidebar. Pale Moon even still has a statusbar which most other browsers have thrown away for no good reason whatsoever.

@jon Definitely have! While I use Waterfox as my day-to-day choice mainly due to familiarity with Gecko, Vivaldi's been my immediate backup and as I get more and more comfortable with it, it might end up being the new main. I've been loving the features it you guys offer.

Less worried about the old MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin as I once was as I'll just simply not use a site or service if the built in blocker, with some extra filters, can't do the job.
