32 years ago I started working on my first browser, Opera.

> I have been making browsers now for 32 years

Congratulations! And thank you.

On congrats occasion: please improve the testing procedures ;)). Especially for the built-in email client, which has had a few too many glitches lately.

@jon I got it 2 months ago and I like it a lot. It is my main browser and has lots of unique features quite clever and useful! You should just try it!!

[janethemotherfucker@gaygeek.social]

@jon Is it free software yet?

[adam_wysokinski@fediscience.org]

@jon My browser of choice for the last 12 months. It's excellent!

[drewtowler@mas.to]

@jon Thank you for building a great browser. As a webdev I have to have both Firefox-based and Chromium-based browsers on hand for testing as well as daily driving; I chose Waterfox and Vivaldi and I'm happy with both.

@jon all right, you convinced me:) - downloading, trying

@jon are you keeping an eye on the servo project?

Love @Vivaldi …
deep bow of thanks !…

[elduvelle@neuromatch.social]

@jon I moved to #Vivaldi several months ago now - when #Firefox stated changing my selected search engine for a genAI one - and I have not looked back! I really like it, thank you so much for improving our lives by making it!
I guess I should go donate now

@jon Opera Mini for android has the best ever UI, no browser even close get to that greatness.
Thank you!

@jon Integrated masto client is a nice touch. Been dipping my toes in for a couple years but am now using Vivaldi as my main browser. Thanks for your commitment to web browsers

[ml@social.mitexleo.one]

@jon Vivaldi is my primary browser on all platforms ️

[maggiemartin@mstdn.ca]

@jon Happy Vivaldi user here. I switched over two years ago. Not looking back.

[gemelen@mammut.moe]

@jon
That's the journey!
And I may say I've been using then Opera and now Vivaldi for about 2/3 of that time, for a lot of reasons. Thus, I personally want to say thank you.

Chromium based browsers use profiles instead (Which I also happen to prefer)

I have both #Safari and #Vivaldi on my mobiles, but my #default #browser is Safari.

I don't need a #screenreader all the time, so I don't run #VoiceOver.

Safari will #readaloud to me if I choose to listen, so opening a link from wherever is how I use Safari.

When I know where I'm going, I mostly use Vivaldi. And if I think I'll want to remember a #website or #access it on my #computer, I'll paste the link into Vivaldi because they're synced.

@jon I switched to Vivaldi lately and I’m very happy with it. It’s part of a migration plan away from big tech. Thank you for your precious work!

[rejzor@mastodon.social]

@jon I wish Vivaldi had its own extensions store just like Opera still has and not depend on dictatorship of Google.

With own store you can still host ManifestV2 extensions like uBlock Origin, something you can't when using Google's extension store.

For starter it could only offer alternative extensions that are restricted on Google's own, but maybe later expand to be entirely own thing.

Love vivaldi, I do wish there was a better explanation on how to get the Vivaldi webmail though...the reputation system is kinda vague.
