Unlike most others, we have made certain choices at Vivaldi that IMHO are important in this time and age. We believe the choices were important when we made them, but even more so today. Our servers are in Iceland and they are our servers and not some cloud servers. We use them for all Vivaldi services, including things like Sync, Blogs, Forums and Vivaldi Social. Electricity in Iceland is green. Most all of the power in use is hydro, with a little bit of geo thermal. We do make use of CDNs for speed, etc., of course. #Vivaldi #GlobalWarming #EU #Europa #Iceland #Browser #Politics
We doubled our user base in Norway last month. It is clear that more and more users are seeking alternatives to Big Tech. We welcome you all and others that want to join us! #Vivaldi #Browser #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #ios #BigTech #EU #Europa #Politics #Norway

31 years ago, Geir IvarsΓΈy and I started working on the Opera browser. A year later we founded Opera Software. At Opera we wrote all our own code from scratch. In 2011 I left Opera due to disagreement with investors about the direction Opera was heading. Two years later, I co-founded Vivaldi to build a browser for you. So I have been building browsers for 31 years. I think I know what it takes to build a browser. Our Vivaldi team is for the most part in Norway and Iceland with a few people distributed around Europe and a couple of business people in the US. Vivaldi is available for your computer and your phone, unless you have a very specific setup. Vivaldi might even be available for your car as well. We go out of our way to provide you with a browser that matches your needs. I hope you like it. #Vivaldi #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #ios #Computer #Mobile
Considering options to Big Tech? May I invite you to try Vivaldi?

If you needed another reason why LLMs are problematic, read this. The problem is that any popularity algorithm can be manipulated. This is something we have seen with search SEO, with social media algorithms and now with LLMs. People will try to manipulate these algorithms for marketing reasons and sadly for more nefarious reasons. For me, the first step of any solution is to ban user profiling. https://www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/p/a-well-funded-moscow-based-global #AI #Politics #SocialMedia
We are seeing more and more people heading our way. It is a response to people being fed up with Big Tech and their role in current affairs. Have you made the switch yet? Are you ready to make it? Have you told your friends?

To all of you that are joining us at @npub19rt0...adh9 , 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! #Vivaldi #BigTech #browser #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #ioS
Switching from Big Tech is not always easy. You get used to their ways and they make it hard to switch. Are you ready to make the switch? Are you ready to help your friends make the switch? There are alternatives. One of them is @npub19rt0...adh9, the browser company I co-founded in 2012. I invite you to join us.
