At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors.

[xeronarth@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon Definitely have! While I use Waterfox as my day-to-day choice mainly due to familiarity with Gecko, Vivaldi's been my immediate backup and as I get more and more comfortable with it, it might end up being the new main. I've been loving the features you guys offer.

Less worried about the old MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin as I once was as I'll just simply not use a site or service if the built in blocker, with some extra filters, can't do the job.

[ketakater@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon the built-in ad-blocker is great. Works even on youtube video ads

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@jon Make a choice not to email a new downloader every single day. I hadn't even had time to try the browser yet, but you deluged me, so I declared it spam, and uninstalled the program.

[ditsch42@troet.cafe]

@jon I switched recently from Firefox!
The only thing I'm missing is a @zotero plugin for Vivaldi :'(

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@jon thank you! I will!

[elduvelle@neuromatch.social]

@ditsch42 there is a Zotero plug-in for Vivaldi! I have it installed and working on three computers. 👌
(It will be the one for "Chrome" when you go on the zotero page)
@jon @zotero

[emmecola@mastodon.uno]

@jon Excellent browser 👍🏻 I use it on mobile and desktop, works great

[ostrobothnia@toot.community]

@jon How about open-sourcing your browser?

[amirbkhan@mastodon.social]

@jon my default mobile browser 👍🏾

[curiousmagpie@beige.party]

@jon I had high hopes and did try your product but discovered it was too closely integrated with Google.

[aulapublica@mastodon.social]

@jon I love Vivaldi. I met it due to it is installed in the computers of my school (I am a teacher in middle and high school) Wonderful.

[bucachowchow@mstdn.party]

@jon I enjoy both the browser and the composer.

[ditsch42@troet.cafe]

@elduvelle @jon @zotero Oh!! Great, I didn't think of that :D I'll try it tomorrow!

[mwt@mastodon.nz]

@Ketakater @jon do you have to do anything special to enable this? I went back to Opera for YouTube because it shows zero ads with ublock origin.

[ketakater@social.vivaldi.net]

@mwt @jon No, works out of the box. I haven't seen ads on youtube in years (except for those tiles that they make look like video previews, but the videoes that interrupt normal playback where you have to click to skip are completely eradicated with vivaldi)

[lexinova@cyberplace.social]

@jon LIE your server are proxied to Cloudflare, so you are NOT independent from US

You also have no Fdroid repository

And you still Use Github SLOP generator from US MicroSlop

Funny an AI "free" browser allowing AI in it's workflow via MicroSLOP Github

[onirakkiss@ioc.exchange]

@jon
How do you pay your rent? Where is Vivaldi generating money?

[lexinova@cyberplace.social]

@CuriousMagpie @jon and you don't have seen they use Cloudflare as middleman, AND still use Github with it's AI from MicroSLOP

So much for an AI free browser, border false claim i want to say.

[user46@masto.pt]

@jon i know you've adblocker. But do you have compartimentalization between sites? PS: I tend to unblock ads using ABP's privacy respecting ad sites list.

[imleon@social.vivaldi.net]

@jon I love how Vivalidi is the only mainstream browser that allows you to have the URL field in the tab bar natively.
