PSA: Our roadmap for 2026:

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@AleF2050 sadly @Vivaldi still depends on Chrome for the rendering engine do that's not going to happen until they fork

[adingbatponder@fosstodon.org]

@Vivaldi Great speech. I am going to use AI to find out who the speechwriter was.

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@Vivaldi that's all we wanted to hear

[tehstu@hachyderm.io]

@aburka @Vivaldi Just glancing at other news, this was a timely rollout.

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@tehstu @Vivaldi oh no what now?

[chirpbirb@meow.social]

@Vivaldi it's not open source either! 🤡

[tehstu@hachyderm.io]

@aburka @Vivaldi Mozilla Corp. has a new CEO. Just to whittle it down, he says Firefox is trusted and users will have an easy option to turn AI off.

How about "easy option to turn it ON", as others have pointed out.

Trust? Some of us have been with this browser since Netscape, what a toxic relationship it has been of late.

@tehstu @Vivaldi oy vey

[obiwan2208@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi A brilliant speech!!! 😍👏👏

You got the point @jon.👌

[dkygo@phpc.social]

@Vivaldi enough for me to set it as default again.

[ju@social.zdx.fr]

@Vivaldi
Well done and clear ! 👌

[peepingtom5000@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi This is beautiful

[lazarou@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi Vivaldi is what I'm reading this on right now! #Vivaldi

[to1ne@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi you should have put the Sora watermark on it

[cmdrdiscocat@eldritch.cafe]

@Vivaldi sorry but you're not open source, so if you change your goals and decide to include AI, there won't be any possibility to fork from your project to keep an AI-free browser.

And your users would be in the same situation as users from other browsers.

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@curated@mastodon.social exactly this!
@nini @AleF2050 @Vivaldi @mozilla

[clot27@mastodon.social]

@AleF2050 @Vivaldi only if it were open source and ready to switch from chromium to servo once the former gets usable

[jerrej@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi

Is there a #transcript for me to read (instead)?

[vekkq@social.vivaldi.net]

@jerrej the video has an alt-tag that holds its entire content in text:

> A video of Vivaldi’s founder and CEO, Jón von Tetzchner, standing by the ocean in Iceland with an icy mountain behind him. He simply says: “It’s not AI.”

[sempf@infosec.exchange]

@Vivaldi This is the best thing ever.
