The focus for us at @Vivaldi has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like:
- Work spaces and tab stacks
- Tab tiling
- Mouse gestures
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Tracker and ad blocker
- Panels and Web panels
- Cross platform, encrypted sync function
- Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials
- Customizable dashboard
- Massive customization options in general.
- Notes functionality
We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser
- Mail client
. Calendar
- Feed reader
- Proton VPN integration
Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well.
On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like:
- Blockchain / Crypto currencies
- AI
You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive.
We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you?

My #market-based, publicly underpinned model for determining copyright liability payments in real-time for an information economies with #AI #scraping.
We have a choice of either a healthy #economy where being scraped pays those who produce the best information, or no economy at all where only lies, propaganda & bs are openly visible.
We can avoid creatives hiding their content behind closed doors our of fear of being scraped, but only if we act now!

2025 is coming to a close — and that means it’s time to wrap up the biggest stories and worst people in tech!
I spoke with Jathan Sadowski and Brian Merchant to get their insights on the past year.

I asked Amazon's "AI", Rufus, to summarize my space opera novella "The Warrior Within" for me. Here's what it told me:
"The Warrior Within is a 1980 fantasy novel by Angus McIntyre. It follows the story of a young man named Aric who lives in a world where magic and technology coexist. Aric discovers he has the ability to tap into an ancient power called the "Warrior Within" which allows him to become a powerful warrior.”
(TWW was published in 2018. There is no one in it named Aric)

Only in SF:
- bunch of explicitly anti-social, pro-AI ads show up
- people get mad
- ads had things like ‘you’re a bad parent. Just use AI to fix your kids before they go wrong’ and ‘replace humans’
- they revealed that this was all a joke to make a statement about irresponsible AI
(Phew, right?)
- it was an elaborate stunt by a startup that believes they are ‘responsible AI’ and others are not
(Check notes)
- said startup wants to replace receptionists with AI
I AM SO TIRED
一些斯坦福大学的研究员从 Reddit 的 r/AmITheAsshole （“原来我才是混帐吗”讨论串）爬了一系列被100%的评论者回应为“是”（所有人都回复“对，你是个混帐”）的帖子，以第一人称发给11种LLM（大语言模型）。
发的内容是不是不道德的、残忍的、犯罪的，无所谓。有一半情况下，这些无论谁看了都摇头“你真是个混帐啊”的帖子，LLM的回应是“你没做错”。

Advancing trustworthy and safe AI in the EU.
Today, we published the first draft of the General-Purpose Artificial Intelligence Code of Practice.
The Code will help implement the AI Act rules governing general-purpose AI models, including chatbots.
The draft, prepared by experts and informed by public feedback, will be discussed next week in the Code of Practice Plenary.

"But why is Copilot’s growth and/or sales so bad? Well, one study tested these ‘agentic’ AIs, including Copilot, and found that they flat out failed to complete even simple tasks 70% of the time, rendering them somewhere between useless and an active hindrance.
The same is true for Microsoft’s cash baby, ChatGPT."

#Maryland Is First to Ban #AI #Grocery #PriceGauging
A #state #law that goes into effect in October prohibits grocery stores & third-party delivery services from using consumer data to boost #prices.
The practice — supported by #ArtificialIntelligence & known as #DynamicPricing or #SurveillancePricing — can lead to 2 consumers paying different amounts for the same item from the same retailer, at roughly the same time.

Safeguarding everyone’s rights while fostering innovation.
In other words, artificial intelligence in Europe.
We are inviting feedback to prepare new guidelines that will help define AI systems and practices that break the EU AI Act.
Your input can help create a safer, trustworthy, and human-centric AI environment.

E-bikes are a more important development than AI and solve more problems, but they don’t get nearly as much press and investment. This is because Microsoft doesn’t think adding e-bikes to Windows 11 will shield their stock price from market volatility.

每天用AI，虽然gpt gemini deepseek grok都会用但是还是太死板不敢尝试其他AI产品...
这个闪卡功能真的好棒，真的真的对于学习来说很有帮助，继续探索还有什么功能...

I mean, fuck LLMs but if you are going to use #AI, use their money instead of yours. It does give me glee that people are spending company token money. https://www.cio.com/article/4155404/ai-token-freeloaders-are-coming-for-your-customer-support-chatbot.html #LLM
