@jon This browser has been eluding me for a long time, idk why. 🥲
Why do people choose Vivaldi?
@jon somehow, that blog post sounds AI-written
"Outdated hashtag spamming and keyword stuffing, how quaint, Vivaldi's SEO strategy is hilariously ineffective."
That is something we are still working on, but you can select which elements to hide in the settings.
@jon AWESOME!
Thank you.
@jon I want so much to love this browser: no AI, European, Fediverse-friendly (as in: "it's nice to see you care about here as well"), but... it's so damn hard to root for yet another closed-source chromium-based browser.
Is there any plan to change the chromium-dependency in the future to support a more diverse web ecosystem?
@ed , I think moving away from Chromium is not an option at this time. Having made a browser from scratch before, Opera, I know what it takes to build a browser from scratch and there is a reason companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft have not done it.
I think there is great value in us growing and being able to contribute more to the Chromium project. I think that can make a significant difference.
Not really. At Opera we built a browser with as much as 350 million monthly users. Still we had to deal with compatibility issues as sites would block us. Not least sites by Google, Apple and Microsoft. That is after building the browser core with the best standards support of them all.
It is most natural for us to go with Chromium to ensure compatibility. Making things work with multiple engines is also too time consuming. I think it is best that we put in the resources to influence Chromium in the best possible direction. A Strong Vivaldi can do that.
@jon thanks for the reply and for sharing that experience, really appreciated.
