Big Tech is getting more and more involved in politics. During the last US election, Crypto bros spent more than $100 million on the election, which got some of them out of jail. Now Big Tech is active again, this time with focus on AI, as reported in this Washington Post article.
It is time to take a stand against companies that behave this way.

I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI me...
The focus for us at @npub19rt0...adh9 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?

Itβs a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built-in. Itβs super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivald...
You understand that Big Tech is getting too powerful when they try to undermine governments that regulate them.
Elon Musk has been pushing for countries to leave the EU due to regulation and associated fines. Meta has been behaving in a similar way.
Are you not happy that you are here?
