PSA: Our roadmap for 2026:

[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.

[jesterchen@social.tchncs.de]

@Vivaldi 🏆

[lxrs@mastodon.online]

@Vivaldi how about going open source?

[cryogenicice9@mastodon.online]

@Vivaldi Google still holds the reins, though, until you fork chromium.

[jerrej@mastodon.social]

@vekkq
Thanks! I don't see that ALT tag, weirdly.

[gfaster@tilde.zone]

@Vivaldi that's a pretty compelling pitch

[joren@social.lol]

@Vivaldi any plans on just the bare browser? No VPN, no email client or calendar? Just the best browser?

[vekkq@social.vivaldi.net]

@joren These options are opt-in. You get a 'bare' browser until you activate these.

[jill@mastodon.de]

@Vivaldi Love it, but also 😂

[tiefling@bardicperspiration.club]

@Vivaldi Okay, I laughed.

[iseptimus@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi Your PlayStation moment.

[iseptimus@social.vivaldi.net]

@cmdrDiscoCat just fork chromium and make your own browser.

[x15a2@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi I would have replied sooner, but I can't type while applauding! 👏
