Ten years of making new friends by building a browser for you, not Big Tech | Vivaldi Browser

Monday January 27th marks the ten year anniversary of our first ever public technical preview. We set out to make a powerful browser for our friends. A decade later, we’ve grown from a desktop-only…

Vivaldi Browser
@jon Happy Anniversary!
@jon Happy birthday! I've been using Vivaldi since the first technical preview. Tomorrow will be my tenth anniversary with Vivaldi.
@jon I use both Opera and Vivaldi. I went there from nearly exclusive Chrome use because of the reduced exposure to the leeches of the surveillance economy. I give all the browsers a try. I retired FF on my anemic little Ubuntu box because it would regularly seize up from memory starvation. Opera is doing much better in that environment. Vivaldi starts slow on my windows box and then runs circles around other browsers.
@jon I congrats! And I say thank you for a great browser that I can use synchronized on three operating systems, which is incredibly flexible and very stable. But above all, thank you for your concept, your steadfastness and your tireless commitment. And I look forward to a bright future with you!
@jon Congratulations with the anniversary and thank you (and the team) for making Vivaldi possible.
@jon Congratulations Jon!
@jon love Vivaldi. I would like to work with Vivaldi. I am a Psychologist MD and Holistic doctor, I would love to be their ear, trusted confidant and friend. Are they hiring? I offer online, private sessions at their preferred video platform. I use Proton Mail, no choice, my clients come first, privacy. I prefer holistic medine over modern, can't prescribe out of the United states of America, need to get licensed in Europe, I am a resident of the EU. #nevergoingback to the #dividedstatesofamerica #loveGermany and & #lovenetherlands #openminded #alwayslearning #godblessatheisttoo
@jon I have a question, Vivaldi is my favorite browser, even though I spend half my life trying to understand certain things. I actually emailed Google over this and while I am not a big fan of Google, they are convenient to use as a browser, the thing is (you are probably going to think this is stupid) but it's MORE THAN THE POINT, PRINCIPLE to me and lots of people actually. While some information is private and with good reason, medical et, some people make their choices loud and clear. Some websites are filled with ads and I mean annoying ads, every other paragraph is an advertisement, you use an ad blocker, it just slows the platform down, takes away the ad but the space is still there (spinning) and then there are people you just can't stand, could care less what they have to say, sure don't want to help them make money, anyway, can a person control, in VIVALDI, to block a website that they don't like for whatever reason? Let's say I can't stand ebay, so when I search for buy peanuts online, up pops Amazon, ebay, peanut town, bol, et, is there any way possible to like hit the 3 bars beside it and hit BLOCK? so everytime I go to buy something online I know that I blocked ebay and it's not going to pop up. (con't)
@jon BTW, in my first part, that was just an example. People should be able to control there searches. You are allowed to block people on here I imagine, fb, Tumblr et, do you understand what I am saying? I understand that Vivaldi is a browser, not a search engine, but is there a search engine that you know of that has this function? This would be the ultimate search engine, can a browser do what I want? I tell you, I am an idiot, beyond stupid when it comes to this stuff. I hope you can help me, I am someone who likes order, less chaos and just wants to "get on with it" in life. I am going to learn Vivaldi, I believe in Vivaldi and trust that they work hard to protect their users (clients) which means everything to me, I am a Psychologist MD and Holistic doctor, so I can relate.
You have a good evening darling ♥️
