    @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.

      @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)

        At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

        We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.

        Our servers are based in Iceland.

        If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

        Have a nice day!

        @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

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

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

            @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.

              @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.

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

                        Love Vivaldi. I heard about it here, on Mastodon, tried it and have been with it ever since. No bugs! Ah...

                          @jon Vivaldi is still a problem. Your browser is not only closed source software, but it is based on Chromium, meaning you are just another Google browser, like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. I am unhappy with Firefox at the moment, but I will keep using it, as I refuse to support Google.

                                It looked promising when I checked it out, but I'd humbly recommend that either the Google checkboxes be unchecked by default, or the user is shown a message during setup pointing them out.

                                  @jon In the words of my mother: vivaldi is too messy out of the box.

                                  That, together with the pain one has to go through if one wants to remove all the "big tech" style ads and disable the associated trickery, makes it really hard to recommend.

                                    If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

                                    @jon I’m loving Vivaldi as a recent convert but the last piece of my workflow puzzle is stack syncing between mobile and desktop. 🙏

                                      @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

                                        At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

                                        We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.
