I have been working with Web technologies since 1992. I have co-founded two browser companies, Opera Software and Vivaldi Technologies. I was CEO at Opera and I am CEO at Vivaldi.

I am a strong proponent of open standards. I believe in building feature rich products that can be adapted to the needs of users without collecting information about usage. I believe no company has the right to profile their users.

From the @vivaldibrowser trip to Þórsmörk in Iceland. To get there we had to cross some rivers on the way. It was worth it.

Is it just me that prefers Federated Universe to Fediverse? I understand it is more of a mouthful, but I think the jargon gets in the way a bit.

The Digital Markeds Act is now in force. Will be interesting to see what impact it can have. It is time for Big Tech to behave!

@vivaldibrowser trip to Iceland. We went to Þórsmörk for the weekend. Beautiful weather and view to match.

It is time to ban spying on the Internet.

Ban spying on the Internet

Personal data collection and surveillance-based advertising undermine democracy. Tracking and building profiles has to stop. It’s time to ban spying on the Internet.

Have you tried Vivaldi yet? Try it out and let me know what you think!

Vivaldi Browser | Powerful, Personal and Private web browser

It’s a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built-in. It’s super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivaldi browser for desktop, mobile, and your car!

So we have been taking a fairly laid back approach to the Fediverse thus far and have not posted too much but don't interpret that as us not being interested.

What we have seen so far we love!

The work that people like @Gargron and others before him have done (such as @cwebber with ActivityPub) is so, so important, both in terms of levelling the field (so that social media is not entirely controlled by large companies) and also in making a better and kinder again place to interact.
