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

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

@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!

@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.

@jon There is just one thing that's bartering me, and that's that I can't incorporate Vivaldi in gnome's design language. It hurts my eyes.

@jon
Vivaldi has been the only browser I've ever had that I installed, then forgot about. It's been great not to have any problems with it whatever.

@jon Isn't Chromium dependency a liability in terms of digital sovereignty? I am trying to understand those who argue that Mozilla, by maintaining Gecko, is the last stand against Google's technological monopoly.

@jon That’s why I’m such a big fan of the Fediverse: honest people do honest things and talk about them—not just with their investors, but above all with their users.
Many thanks for the work all if you are doing.
