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

@seanpm2001 @jon jup, my feelings as well. by all accounts, the people making vivaldi seem to be pretty good sorts.

but chromium considered malware.

@jon While I prefer to use Firefox as my primary browser (partly at a way to show that non-Chromium browsers are still important), but Vivaldi is my go-to Chromium-based browser.

@jon @zazzoo thank you.

@jon

based on the wishes of our users.

...unless, ofc, one of those wishes is tree style tabs, ie, an infinitely nestable tab hierarchy, not merely the simple one-dimensional options as now of many years' standing. in this case, it's all just 🦗🦗🦗

@jon I've just downloaded, I don't demand much from my browser bar no-AI and good ad blocking. Good so far

@jon They are a wrapper around google's browser engine (Chromium) and refuse to open source their code... How much could they possibly respect your privacy?

@jon I really like Vivaldi, especially the sessions functionality.
There's only one issue: after the first start up of the day, every subsequent time I start Vivaldi it takes something like 30 seconds before I can use it. It becomes totally unresponsive during that time. I've been in contact with support, but so far there has not been a solution. Which is a shame because apart from that it runs great. This is on Windows btw.

@jon @inthehands This browser is very nice, but I would love for it to do one thing, be a bit more privet. Would be super cool if you would scramble the fingerprint on it, to provide another layer of security, without the need for plugins.

@jon Last time I tried Vivaldi, I recall facing some #accessibility issues. Have you chosen to prioritize that aspect of user requested improvement, or should I look elsewhere?

@jon I am using Vivaldi both on my laptop as well on my smartphone. Fantastic browser! Keep up the good work

@seven_708 @jon Yes please - that would make your good browser a great browser!

@jon Does this browser play the Vivaldi Spring during loading times ?

@jon One thing I keep hearing is that there might be some vulnerability involved in using a Chromium base.

Do you have plans for breaking out of that, if threats materialize?

mander

@jon Isn't vivaldi chromium based?

@jon Iceland is a wonderful country with forward-looking legislation, but as a sparsely populated country like Greenland, it is vulnerable to invasion and occupation by bigger powers as occurred during WW2.

Do you have any contingency plans if Mad King Trump decides he'd like to add Iceland as a bauble to his empire?

@seven_708 @jon @inthehands that's my wish since years. And I adressed this again & again to Vivaldi. But - nothing happend. Frustration!!!!

@caycedo I have been considering it lately, I have also been looking at #Floorp and #Ladybird (which is still in beta) I don't feel ready to switch yet, due to potential issues with user agent sniffing (some sites are already bad enough, getting them to support #Firefox can be difficult) and also because of my extensive profile and bookmark system.

@jon @peterbrown Have you quit adding a link to Amazon built in? If so, I'll try it again. If not, get lost!
