In April 1994 I started working on the Opera browser with Geir Iversøy, my co-founder. I worked at Opera for 17 years, leaving it after disagreeing with investors about the way forward. Two years later I co-founded @Vivaldi with Tatsuki Tomita and Anne Stavnes. This was in 2013.
For more than 30 years we have provided alternatives to Big Tech. First with Opera and now with Vivaldi. The focus has always been quite different from our competitors. More features, more privacy, more flexibility. Lately it has also meant the choice to avoid things like Crypto and Blockchain, avoid integrating AI and avoid integrating surveillance. This is not given. Most of our competitors are building in one or more of the above.
If you like what we are doing and our stand, feel free to download Vivaldi. If you are already with us, please tell your friends.

@tanepiper @jon @Vivaldi The Arc team created another browser, Dia. Not sure if they will add features to Arc.

@Ketakater @jon @Vivaldi Not exactly: they take the Chromium codebase and pull out all the tracking and other nasty code parts from it (as far as it is possible without making it break), before they add their own code.

@TritTriton @jon @Vivaldi but that relies on Google's permission to do that, right?
What if they pull the plug?

@jon @Ketakater @Vivaldi Thank you for the reply, appreciated.
While Mozilla's funding is rather non-diverse, wouldn't Gecko still be a notably smaller reliance (more like dependence) on Google? -
