Vivaldi continues to grow steadily, as more people get to know us and the values we stand for. Our users are fed up with AI being shoved down their throat on every product, and they're fed up with the way the big corporations have been (mis)treating us all for decades.

We love building an alternative for all of you, because we truly believe you deserve better. But we wouldn't be here without your support, so if you're using Vivaldi: thank you!

We're now officially 4.5 million people. 🎉 Wouldn't it be amazing if we could make it to 5M before 2026 is over? 🙏

Some of you have been asking whether or not Vivaldi is affected by Chrome’s #AI API, which some websites are using for tracking purposes. The answer is straight-forward: no. ✌️

As part of our philosophy to reject built-in AI features, we've been disabling all the Gemini-related code bundled in Chromium for a long while — which effectively prevents websites from using this API in Vivaldi.

being employee-owned gives us the freedom to stay true to ourselves ✊

Many in our team have been in the browser industry for decades. Creating a decent alternative to the mainstream browsers is what we do best, but how can we compete against the giants when the conditions aren't fair?

When huge corporations have been filling the tech space and abusing their power and influence for decades, how do we ensure that users choose products by merit, and not by market power?

These and other questions are what @nprofile1q... discusses with the Little Tech Association in our latest podcast episode, available now on our website or your preferred podcast platform.👇

Three years ago, we reached another milestone by launching our browser for iOS, but getting there was no bed of roses.

Did you know that, as of today, browser vendors are still forced to use the WebKit engine if they want to distribute their product on Apple devices?

Sure, regulatory efforts have brought changes to the European and Japanese markets, but the rest of the world is still very much in shackles.

Things aren't easy when you're competing against Big Tech, but we promise to keep fighting for a more diverse tech environment where users are allowed to choose what's best for them. There's no other way. ✊

はてなさんが新しく始めたディスカッションフォーラム「はてなパークス」を見に行ったら、ユーザーさんから「Webブラウザ、今どれ使ってる？」のアンケート投稿が。意気揚々と我らがVivaldiを探したら無くってしょぼんだったのだけれど、コメントでたくさん「Vivaldi」って言ってくださってる方がいてほっこりしました😌
