    @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)

    @Ketakater @jon it isn't like that on my version. 😐 Maybe the MacOS version is different?

        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!

        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.

                      You also have no Fdroid repository

                      And you still Use Github SLOP generator from US MicroSlop

                              @jon Vivaldi is my daily drive. You share my values about what the internet should be. And you give Vivaldi users a place on the Fediverse. Most of all, it's a great browser. Thanks for what you do.

                                @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.

                                    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!

                                      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 πŸ¦—πŸ¦—πŸ¦—

                                        @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?
