The focus for us at @Vivaldi has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like:

- Work spaces and tab stacks
- Tab tiling
- Mouse gestures
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Tracker and ad blocker
- Panels and Web panels
- Cross platform, encrypted sync function
- Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials
- Customizable dashboard
- Massive customization options in general.
- Notes functionality

We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser

- Mail client
. Calendar
- Feed reader
- Proton VPN integration

Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well.

On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like:

- Blockchain / Crypto currencies
- AI

You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive.

We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you?

Among the countless Trump deceits in his deranged speech the other day was the reality of the so-called bonus for military personnel: The money had already been promised to them, as part of another program.

With this regime, lies are the default.
