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. #Vivaldi #BigTech #browser #Mastodon #fediverse #Windows #macos #Linux #Android #ios
We at Vivaldi are the only browser company with a Mastodon server. We have chosen to support the Fediverse in every way we can. We will continue to do so as we need options away from Big Tech. #Vivaldi @npub19rt0...adh9 #Mastodon #fediverse
One of the many features we have in @npub19rt0...adh9 is the Calendar. We had some important requirements when we made it: 1. Flexibility in display. So many calendars cut a lot of information. We want everything you want to be visible to be visible. 2. Inline editing option. Means you can see everything else while adding or editing an event. 3. Easy to use with the keyboard. 4. Both offline and online accounts. Means you can choose whether events are stored in the cloud or just locally on your computer. If you have not tried it, give it a try. Available on Windows, Mac and Linux. Bonus : Makes it easier to move away from Big Tech. #Windows #macos #Linux #browser #Mail #Calendar #Vivaldi
Does it matter to you where your browser company is located and where your browser is made? @npub19rt0...adh9 is a Norwegian & Icelandic company. Team is in Norway and Iceland for the most part with some team members working from home as well across Europe. #Vivaldi #browser #Windows #macos #Linux #Politics
If you are looking to move away from your Big Tech browser, maybe it is time to give Vivaldi a try? A few things worth mentioning: 1. Workspaces and tab stacks. 2. Tab tiles. 3. Vivaldi Social, Mastodon server. 4. Encrypted sync. 5. Built in tracker and ad blocker. 6. No crypto built in. 7. No AI built in. Vivaldi is made in Norway and Iceland and our servers are hosted in Iceland. #Vivaldi #Browser #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #iOS @npub19rt0...adh9
Many are switching away from Big Tech right now. There are many reasons to do so. Have you? I understand that switching out everything in one go may not be feasible for everyone, but you can always take smaller steps. #BigTech #Technology #Linux #Mastodon #fediverse #Politics
Ready to move away from Big Tech? There are options. Choosing those options will require you to learn something new, but that is a small cost to pay to get away from Big Tech, IMHO Here are my suggestions. Feel free to add your own: 1. Browser : Vivaldi. That one is a given for me, obviously. 2. Mail client : Vivaldi. You may wonder why you need a mail client, but besides the technical benefits, it makes it a lot easier to move between mail services or even use more than one. 3. Mail service : Fastmail. They have been around for a long time. 4. Office software : Libre Office. 5. Video conference : Whereby. 6. Desktop OS : Linux. 7. Social : Mastodon and the Fediverse in general. As said, I am eager to hear what you are using to help me move away from Big Tech as well. Always looking for new things to try. #Mastodon #fediverse #Linux #Windows #BigTech #Politics #Technology #Computers
Are you going to listen to Microsoft or are you going to download Vivaldi? #Windows #Linux #Macos #Vivaldi image
Big Tech is using the nationalism card. When the EU wants to regulate American companies and fines them when they break the rules, then they want to see that as attacking American companies. What does it then mean when the DOJ in the US wants to regulate Big Tech and fines them for breaking the rules? The reality is that we need regulation. Big Tech has gotten away with too much. They have grown too powerful. They are doing too much damage. Choose smaller companies, when you can. Take a stand. #Windows #Macos #Linux #fediverse #Mastodon #Regulation #Politics #Vivaldi
