Vivaldi BrowserThe modern web is built to overwhelm with ragebait, clickbait, and chaos. So we made something soothing.
It’s called OnlyFjords. And yes, it’s only fjords.

Enjoying Kink@Vivaldi Loving it! Just a question: Why no Mastodon in the bottom bar? :)
Andy Piper@enjoyingkink @Vivaldi now that is an excellent question! 👀
@andypiper @enjoyingkink We are aware that the footer link to VS got held back by a fjord monster, it should emerge form the deep shortly. 👀
ThePfromtheO@Vivaldi @andypiper @enjoyingkink
Beware fjord monsters!
IMNSHO, you should put this warning everywhere, just in case!
We've all just seen what they can do!
Or… maybe #Vivaldia will defend us?
Hoping so. 🙏…

Galactic Stone@Vivaldi I've been pining for this.

OnlyFjords@ThePfromtheO @Vivaldi Just a minute! 🏊♂️
@OnlyFjords @Vivaldi
I like the #Mastodon/ #VivaldiSocial icon there being the first of them!

Hey! It looks like they really forgot about this.
Now they've added it.
Thank you again, #VivaldiTechnologies!
Morgan PeyreMmmh, yesss... The soothing feeling of a 4-page sign-up form ☺️ I feel better already.
El Duvelle@peyremorgan @Vivaldi the point of this eludes me...
Lö(h)we@Vivaldi nice pics but why the login? this could just be a Pixelfed account

“Why do I need to log in / create a user?
Because if we didn’t ask you to log in, the fjords would already be scraped, tagged, monetized, and featured in an AI-generated listicle titled “Top 10 Norwegian Landforms That Will Ruin Your Marriage”. It’s our way of keeping the bots out and letting real people in.
Creating an account doesn’t just unblur fjords, it opens up a whole new web. We want to introduce you to our version of the web, and the best way is with an account”

@ThePfromtheO The argument is invalid. The majority of fjord images on this site are available on stock photo sites, even without watermarks.
@ThePfromtheO I just scrolled through the other comments. I hope you don't feel bad after posting their deceitful argument from the FAQ like five times.
You know how it is with marketing departments ..

I just posted what they stated. Didn't have time to write a different answer for each, TBH.

Gauff 🇪🇺@Vivaldi I love it when I imagine some reps thinking that this initiative is a great idea because of X, Y, Z.
Then some people are put in charge.
Once ready, some other people test it, they like it, it can go live.
And seconds after the go-live:
"Sh*t, some links to Mastodon are missing"
"Sh*t, forcing a registration was not such a good idea"
"..."
@Vivaldi Make web browsers, make them right, that's all we ask.
If we want #fjords we'll find them in #Sweden or on #PixelFed
😂
lainlives@Vivaldi You should at least have something so like 15% of the posts are public so we can get more of an idea without an account.
NZK@Vivaldi Ok this is funny and a little cringy 😄 I like your sense of humor 
@nzk @Vivaldi
“Is this a joke?
Yes. And also no. OnlyFjords is satire, but it’s powered by very real frustrations with the modern internet, and by a browser that’s trying to fix it.”

Also when full ad blocking is coming back [to the Vivaldi browser]?

Working on it! :)
All Europeans 🇪🇺For some seconds we had the slightly hope that Vivaldi would create a photo sharing social media connected to the Fediverse (using Pixelfed or a new open source similar platform) with great interface design and nice features, like the browser has!
IMO, it would be too much for a small team that already has a complicated #browser, #sync system, #webmail system, #blogging system and #MastodonInstance to maintain :)

@Vivaldi, are the glaciers set to roll out over Africa? Or am I confusing you with the Magratheans…
Gavin@Vivaldi Genius, although I don't know why I need to login to view.
That's probably one of the open web's most pernicious developments.
