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. Vivaldi: https://vivaldi.com Vivaldi Community: https://vivaldi.net Vivaldi Team: https://vivaldi.com/team/
At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users. We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US. Our servers are based in Iceland. If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends? Have a nice day! #Vivaldi #Browser #Windows #Macos #Linux #AI #Europa #Technology #EU #UK #Germany #France #Poland #Denmark #Norway #Iceland #Greenland
If you just want to play a simple arcade game, may I suggest the Vivaldia series? They are fun and free. πŸ˜€ #Vivaldi #Browser #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #Arcade #Gaming
Big Tech is getting more and more involved in politics. During the last US election, Crypto bros spent more than $100 million on the election, which got some of them out of jail. Now Big Tech is active again, this time with focus on AI, as reported in this Washington Post article. It is time to take a stand against companies that behave this way. #politics #AI #elections #technology #crypto #Browser #Linux https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/12/19/tech-super-pacs-midterms-ai/
