Nobody can claim that we do not love adding features at Vivaldi. There is a lot of them. Some things, however, we have chosen to ignore. Here is one example:

We have built not one, but two games for Vivaldi users. We teamed up with Porcelain Fortress to do so. I am a fan of simple, but fun arcade games and that is what we built. The games are free to play without ads. Have you tried the games yet? Did you like them? Something relaxing to do for the weekend?

Mouse Gestures One the many popular features in Vivaldi is mouse gestures. Have you tried them? You need to enable mouse gestures in settings. They work using the mouse and through another setting, you make them work on the trackpad as well (using ALT). Our goal is to adapt to your needs as a user of Vivaldi and this is part of it. #Vivaldi @npub19rt0...adh9 #browser #Windows #macos #Linux #Computer #Mouse

This is an article that everyone should read by Tim Berners-Lee. It is written in 2010. It talks of the importance of the Web, open Web standards and fighting silos. It is as true today as it was then. It applies to the work we are doing here in building the Fediverse. Based on W3 standards, open and distributed.

I have been competing with Microsoft for 30 years and one thing they have never done is to play fair. There is a reason why we are joining with others to get this right. This is an article I wrote 3 years ago:

When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience. At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors. The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well. This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own. Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server. We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse. #fediverse #Mastodon #Twitter #Threads #BlueSky #Vivaldi

More and more are running computers that have OS that are no longer being updated. Unfortunately some OS vendors are leaving some of us behind. There is an option, however. Install Linux! When you have done that, feel free to install Vivaldi as well! #Windows #Macos #Linux #Microsoft #Apple #Vivaldi #Browser

Did you know that if you download Vivaldi and sign into Vivaldi, you can use the same login to log into Vivaldi Social and thus Mastodon? The Vivaldi login is used for things like sync, but also the forum and blogging service. Sync has an extra encryption password. What this means is that for anyone using Vivaldi, getting into Mastodon is really, really easy. #Mastodon #fediverse #Vivaldi #browser #Windows #Macos #Linux
