I appreciate your genuine efforts, @jon, but #Vivaldi is still based on #Chromium… you are technically dependent on a browser engine maintained by #Google! What if all of a sudden they decide to close it? As improbable as it might sound, we are in an epoch of absolutely improbable stuff happening.

I thought about giving Vivaldi a try, but to be honest I was never interested in installing any browser that is not a #Firefox fork.

#FreeSoftware is not an extra added value, but something fundamentally relevant!

(I read your articles about the points I raised, but they are just technical and they gliss political and socio-economic aspects)

@jon

I've been trying to like #Vivaldi, but the UI is just (to me) horrible.

Why put a QR code where the drop-down menu sometimes is?
Why do items deleted from history just come back again and again?
Why will history only auto-delete if you go through some extra "I'm really, really, really shutting down" dance?
Why does it always restart with whatever tab was last open? I've tried every one of lots of switches and options, and they just seem to be ignored.😥
So much suggesting, constantly 😡

31 years ago, Geir Ivarsøy and I started working on the Opera browser. A year later we founded Opera Software.

At Opera we wrote all our own code from scratch.

In 2011 I left Opera due to disagreement with investors about the direction Opera was heading.

Two years later, I co-founded Vivaldi to build a browser for you.

So I have been building browsers for 31 years. I think I know what it takes to build a browser.

Our Vivaldi team is for the most part in Norway and Iceland with a few people distributed around Europe and a couple of business people in the US.

Vivaldi is available for your computer and your phone, unless you have a very specific setup. Vivaldi might even be available for your car as well.

We go out of our way to provide you with a browser that matches your needs. I hope you like it.

Tip #685

Drag the web page’s link from the Address Bar to add it as a new bookmark.

You need more than two hands to count all the ways you can add new Bookmarks in Vivaldi. One cool way of doing it is by drag-and-drop.

To add a new bookmark:

  1. Click on the padlock icon in front of the page link on the Address Bar and hold down the mouse button.
  2. Start dragging.
  3. Move the link to where you want to save it on the Bookmark Bar or in the Bookmark Panel (needs to be opened, before you start dragging).
  4. Release the mouse button to add the link as a bookmark.

Strikes as funny that Mastodon Migration can retoot disses at Corpzilla, yet they boost weird, sketchy shit like #Vivaldi ― to top it off, the fact that I only have heard incels use the term "Big Tech", which they have used as hashtag.

"Oh, no, yeah, the UI's closed source" hmm, yeah I guess that's fair- oh wait slow the fuck down there, buster ― hey, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

I'll take ungoogled-#chromium or LibreWolf ― if not just Arkenfox'd #Firefox, if it even works considering Mozilla's LLM slop arc ― any day of the week.

- 30 minutes and 613 kCalories (if Suunto is to be trusted) on the stationary bike, and I didn’t even get interrupted

- started to set up the #Vivaldi browser on my computer and phone

- down a couple more pounds, also considering tracking my weight in stone from now on so I sound helalthier
