@Vivaldi
Sigh, it seems like I'm back where I started.
I used the Opera browser for years when first coming to Linux. I just managed to pay to remove the nag banner before It went free
Then when it became just another chrome clone I switched to #Firefox, but given the latest "We heard you and we don't give a shit; here's some more AI" it seems I'll be giving #Vivaldi a try.
I have also been switching to #LibreWolf. Let's do a real A-B test

@Vivaldi New tab features for everyone else, but not for me... try to drag a tab to tile it on a touchscreen and boom the browser locks for about 60 seconds, then just puts it in a new window once it unlocks.

Love Vivaldi, just wish the mobile version was a little more feature rich.

@lebochequirit @Vivaldi @IzzyOnDroid
Until someone manages to convince them to build their own f-droid repo, Obtanium can install Vivaldi directly from vivaldi.com.

@Vivaldi I like this Browser

@ami Let's do it! Feel free to share your feedback with us.

@Moosader I know, it wasn't our intention, it somehow fetched the whole federated blog instead of just showing the link preview 🥲 sorry!

@patxi It wasn't supposed to be this way, it somehow fetched the whole federated blog instead of just showing the link preview 🥲 apologies!

@BafDyce we understand the dilemma, our team is still upset about the demise of the Presto engine, but we eventually had to choose what was best for our browser given the size of the team and the compatibility issues given the state of the internet. We contribute to the improvement of the web in as many ways as we can, but creating a browser engine from scratch was just not a viable option.

@mousetech

In Settings > General > Productivity Features, do you have only Feeds enabled or Mail, Calendar and Feeds?
If only Feeds then opt temporarily for Mail, Calendar and Feeds.

AFAICT, the bug has been fixed already, but needs to go through its usual rounds of testing before it reaches stable.

@Vivaldi Oh my god, am I dreaming? This snapping feature is just soooo good, only a day since the update and I can't stop using it

Thanks team

[thoofan@urusai.social]

@Vivaldi This tab drag and drop is so useful, makes tilling so much faster! One off my new favourite features.

[bassel1000@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi You have to bring AI features at somepoint. AI is not bad

[veroandi@connexia.hibiol.eu]

@Bassel1000 @Vivaldi

Just keep using your favorite AI on its own platform, we don't need it embedded in the browser.

[aemstuz@mastodon.com.pl]

@Bassel1000 What do you mean by AI? AI is a buzzword. To solve a problem, you have to be specific: first of all, what problem do you want to solve?

@Vivaldi

[adam_wysokinski@fediscience.org]

@Vivaldi Thank you!

[thankgoditsfriday@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi Wow, Vivaldi goes hard. I mean, I agree with them, but still...!

[rambusek@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi I love this soooo much! Thank you!

[lazza@mastodon.social]

@veroandi @Vivaldi @Bassel1000 you could say the same for translation services, yet Vivaldi includes one right in the browser so people won’t use Google Translate.

Which is good. Because we can trust Vivaldi that their service is privacy-focused. But when a service is not provided by Vivaldi, people will have to find alternatives.

Some of us know about Duck AI or Euria by Infomaniak, but many others will just open ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot.

This is a loss for privacy.
