Late 2000s till early 2020s: FREEDOMMMMMM!!
2026: “Use Chrome or Firefox.”
@kagihq's Orion has become my everyday web front-end. If your company doesn't want me to use that kind of _actually_ safe, secure, and #Privacy-supporting #Browser, I don't want to use your product. Simple, really.
I have this funny habit of holding onto my internet history - I just love knowing exactly when I created my accounts across the web. While digging through some old emails today, I found an absolute gem.
Here is my original registration email for my vivaldi.net account, dated January 30, 2015. I looked it up, and Vivaldi's very first Technical Preview was released to the public on January 27, 2015. I signed up literally three days after they launched!
It is crazy to think I have been with them for over 11 years now. Watching Vivaldi grow from that very first preview build into the powerhouse it is today has been such a cool ride. Proud to be a Day One user!
