BREAKING: Shell have just announced that their profits have DOUBLED since Trump started his illegal war with Iran.

By now you've all probably heard about the latest shenanigans from Google and their love for in-browser AI features (if you don't, this is the story: https://www.theverge.com/tech/924933/google-chrome-4gb-gemini-nano-ai-features).

Our team has been inspecting the Chromium code and disabling stuff from the very first version of Vivaldi (we have some posts about this in our blog, such as https://vivaldi.com/blog/news/alert-no-google-topics-in-vivaldi/ or https://vivaldi.com/blog/no-google-vivaldi-users-will-not-get-floced/).

We've also been very outspoken about our dislike of the built-in AI trend in the browser industry, but in case there's still any doubts: yes, we disable all Gemini-related features, and we've been doing it for a while.

This isn’t a small experiment & it’s on billions of devices.

Today is May Day, and lots of us are withholding labor and capital from the system. But do you know why we celebrate #MayDay?

May Day, or International Workers’ Day, commemorates the 1886 Haymarket Affair in Chicago. During a rally in Haymarket Square supporting workers striking for an eight-hour workday, an unknown person threw a bomb at police, killing one. Police opened fire, killing four civilians and injuring dozens.

Eight anarchist labor leaders were arrested despite no evidence linking them to the bomb. Seven were sentenced to death; four were hanged in 1887, one committed suicide in jail, and three were pardoned in 1893 by Governor Altgeld, who called the trial a miscarriage of justice.

The Haymarket Affair fueled anti-labor and anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. while galvanizing the international labor movement.

In 1889, the Second International designated May 1 as International Workers’ Day to commemorate the event, linking it to May Day protests worldwide.
