vivaldi
To all of you that are joining us at @Vivaldi , I would like to welcome you.
We know that many are looking for options away from Big Tech and we are happy many of you are choosing us.
We have been building browsers for a long time now. Many of us were at Opera. I co-founded Opera in 1995.
As Opera drifted in a bad direction, I co-founded Vivaldi to provide a real alternative to Big Tech and I believe we can play a very important role moving forward. Thanks for your support!

We added our Vivaldi Social server to the Fediverse on November 15th 2022. We are still, I believe, the only browser company that is fully behind the Fediverse. It is something we are very proud of! The Fediverse is the natural alternative to Big Tech social media, just like, IMHO, Vivaldi is the natural alternative to Big Tech browsers.

Ça fait donc 28 ans que je surfe sur le #Web avec un #navigateur fabriqué par @jon et ses équipes❗️
J'avais découvert #Opera 2.12 sur ce CD-ROM de magazine (Netsurf de mai 1997) 👇 et on m'a gentiment offert l'accès à une version alpha non publique de #Vivaldi 1.0... un peu plus tard (fin 2014) 😉

#Merci 🙏
#Degoogling update: I’ve installed #vivaldi with maxed out privacy setting on my devices with #startpage as my default search engine. Much improved experience. Vivaldi seems less resource intensive than #firefox and it seems to have completely killed all ads on #Youtube, which claims back some of my life (60 second ads on 3 minute videos is a joke, yes I’m aware YT is Google owned).
We're excited about today's Android update! Floating tabs, easier reading, and more control over how you view your tabs. It's the little things that make browsing better. ✔️
📋 Full list of changes: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-android-7-4/
iPhone and iPad users, your browser just leveled up.
🎧 Keep audio playing even when you switch apps
📌 Pin the tabs you always use
🧱 Stack related tabs together for better tab management
🔗 Open links without getting bounced into other apps
Just how it should be.

Curious how you found Vivaldi? Random internet browsing, friend's recommendation, or were you specifically hunting for better customization? 👋
Vivaldi 7.5 for mobile is here! Bugs have shipped off on a one-way cruise to give you a smoother, speedier browser that works your way. ☀️
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!

“@OnlyFjords: Is It a Joke? And Will It Last?”
#ThePhantomsThoughts article: https://thepfromtheo.vivaldi.net/2025/07/14/onlyfjords-is-it-a-joke-and-will-it-last/
“This saying caught my attention:
You deserve something different. Something untouched by urgency.
The answer isn’t no content.
It’s the right content.”
“Now, I like this, but why only fjords, Vivaldi? This question came in my mind soon after watching the video. But Vivaldi was ready for that:
Because they’re stunning. But also because we believe the internet should be just as majestic, not stripped down to whatever keeps people doom scrolling the longest.”
“[…] it’s only fjords.
🙂
So yeah, that’s the point. I don’t have any fjord photo, and this means… that I can only come from time to time and see what people posted there? It looks like that.”

Racism By Omission 🧵 1/3
"Similarly, while omissions are often the result of inaction, the articles in this special issue show how the racism of omission is created purposefully and through neglect—by individuals, organizations, and structures of society, and that the sociological study of racism itself has also omitted conceptualizing liberation adequately.

We at @Vivaldi are different from most other companies. We are a Icelandic-Norwegian company. We host our servers in Iceland. We have no external investors.
I am lucky enough to work with some really wonderful people, including @brucelawson who has made this video that I hope you enjoy!

Small win in the new role.
Two weeks in, and I got official permission to use @Vivaldi as my work browser 
Edge stays the company standard, this is a personal exception, and I am perfectly fine with that. For now.
The formal route existed: a software approval request, a ticket, the whole bureaucratic chain.
What actually settled it was a short live demo at our Friday Jour Fixe for the head of IT, a man who has spent decades keeping infrastructure stable and does not adopt shiny tools by default.
I showed Tiling, Notes, Sessions, Workspaces with Rules, Read Later, and the F2 command panel. No slides, no pitch, just the browser doing its thing.
Substance won over defaults. That felt really good.

A lot of people are moving away from Big Tech. Many more would like to do so, but they do not know that it is really easy to do so and that there are good options.
You do, given that you are here. Maybe time to help your friends?
Some good options, that I use myself :
OS : Linux.
Browser : Vivaldi.
Mail client : Vivaldi.
Calendar client : Vivaldi.
Mail Service : Proton, FastMail.
Social : Mastodon & Fediverse in general.
Office package : Libre Office.
Video conference : Whereby.
Feel free to suggest more options and share with your friends!

At @Vivaldi, we have chosen to include a lot of features not found in any other Web browser. This includes our mail client, calendar, task manager and feed reader. This is all a part of moving away from Big Tech as you can check your mail and calendar in Vivaldi and gradually move your mail service from Big Tech to one of the many mail services available, but access both from Vivaldi. This is the benefit of keeping the mail server and the mail client separate.
The feed reader is another great feature which allows you to subscribe to your favorite new sources and have them displayed in chronological order.
The calendar works with online services, but can also be used locally.
Have a look!

Non importa quante volte aggiorni il tuo sistema operativo, puoi essere certo che ogni volta ci sarà un aggiornamento di #Vivaldi browser.
Ragazzi rilassatevi un po' per favore!
Question pour un #goodie🎁 @Vivaldi :
L'équipe #Vivaldi a l'habitude d'ajouter constamment des fonctionnalités à la version #Desktop de son #navigateur 👍
Mais, très très rarement, des fonctionnalités ont pu être retirées 🪓 ...
👀 Peux-tu en citer au moins une ❓
We have the winner of our Fediverse Asshole of the Year award.
This sorry excuse of a human being has made a list of all the people who are verified to be from Gaza and facing genocide. Why? So you can block them.
If you ever wonder who your jailers are going to be in the coming age of fascism, it’s going to be psychopaths like this son of a bitch right here.
@jon, are genocidal assholes like this welcome on @Vivaldi’s server. Does this go against your terms of service? Will you be taking any action against this account?
