A lot of people are moving from Twitter/X to Bluesky and Threads. There is also an increase here in the Fediverse and we should urge our friends to join here instead! We know that we cannot trust algorithm controlled sites. #Mastodon #Twitter #BlueSky #Threads #Vivaldi #fediverse

Another volcanic outbreak in Iceland. This time the the lava flow entered the parking lot of the Blue Lagoon. What is really impressive is how they have managed to control the lava flow through walls and cooling. The damage would have been a lot more extensive if they had not done that. Also in the town of Grindavík that was once again evacuated. Very spectacular to watch, but would be nice with a longer break soon. #Iceland #volcano #Grindavik #Lava

My survey showed that most users are not happy with the browser that comes with their computers. If you are using one of those browsers, how about trying something new? Does your browser have workspaces? Tab stacks? Tab tiles? Windows panel? Page capture? Sync? Custom themes with custom buttons? Web panels? Mouse gestures? Editable keyboard shortcuts? Want to try a browser that has all of the above and more?

Vivaldi Browser

Vivaldi Browser | Powerful, Personal and Private web browser

It’s a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built-in. It’s super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivald...

Here are the results of my "What is your favorite browser?" survey, here on Mastodon. These are some very interesting results. It is clear that the incumbents are not getting a lot of love. Edge gets 2% and Chrome gets 5%. These browsers are widely used, but not very popular, based on this survey. Safari does a lot better at 16%, the same as Vivaldi. The enthusiasm level from those that use Vivaldi is high and plenty of people also mention Vivaldi as a secondary option. Opera gets just 1%. Firefox gets 60%, so clearly a strong showing here in the Fediverse, although many say they use Firefox only because they do not want to use a Chromium based browser. The cool part is then that 13% say they prefer another browser. Plenty of smaller browsers getting a mention, which is nice. If you notice that the total is higher than 100%, then that is because I allowed people to select more than one browser, although most did not. If you are still using Chrome or Edge, maybe it is time to try something new? You have a choice! #Vivaldi #browser #Firefox #Edge #Chrome #Safari #Opera #Windows #Linux #macos #iOS #Android

In the early days of the Web, research institutions and Universities were some of the first to join. Has your research institute or University joined the Fediverse as yet? How about suggesting to do so? Maybe set up a server yourself, with their permission? We can all contribute to building the Fediverse. This is the best way to build a true social web. #fediverse #Mastodon #Twitter #Facebook #BlueSky #Threads #university #Research

Hello. This is my #Introduction. I have been working with Web technologies since 1992. I have co-founded two browser companies, Opera Software and Vivaldi Technologies. I was CEO at Opera and I am CEO at Vivaldi. I am a strong proponent of open standards. I believe in building feature rich products that can be adapted to the needs of users without collecting information about usage. I believe no company has the right to profile their users. #Vivaldi #browser #Web #surveillance #SurveillanceCapitalism #Windows #macos #Linux #Android #ios
