  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 k...

  The anti-Big-Tech movement isn't a trend, it's a correction. Our societies spent 20 years accepting surveillance capitalism as normal. And now, we're slowly remembering we have choices. Sure, switching browsers is a small thing. But small rebellions are how everything big begins, or so we like to believe. 🤞 If you think about those around you, have you noticed an increased awareness lately about what's behind the tech they use? #ethics #BigTech #browser

  Over the weekend we hosted a “dugnad” together with our friends at Hudd (a Norwegian social network) and @protonprivacy. A dugnad is a Norwegian gem of a word meaning communal work. As in "this job is too big for one person, but if we all pitch in, it won’t be so bad". The Digital Dugnad is about helping each other switch away from Big Tech and dumping them in the trash. We are honored and overwhelmed by the response! Huge thank you to all of the volunteers who hosted dugnads...

  By now you've all probably heard about the latest shenanigans from Google and their love for in-browser AI features (if you don't, this is the story: https://www.theverge.com/tech/924933/google-chrome-4gb-gemini-nano-ai-features). Our team has been inspecting the Chromium code and disabling stuff from the very first version of Vivaldi (we have some posts about this in our blog, such as https://vivaldi.com/blog/news/alert-no-google-topics-in-vivaldi/ or https://vivaldi.com/blog/no-googl...

  Today we launched Tabs As A Service...but only on LinkedIn 😄 Why? Because it's April 1st and this was the dumbest new vertical we could think of. We would never charge nor judge you for any number of tabs you have open or how many tab management features you use. To any PE or VC fund feeling like this was supposed to be your golden ticket to ascend into tech-heaven. Sorry, not sorry. To you who thought it seemed fair to charge for TaaS, get it for free by clicking the link in the c...

  Big Tech is at it again. Some of you might have seen this already. Google has announced a new policy for Android app developers, which would require them to seek Google’s permission if they want to distribute their apps outside of the Google Play Store (on their own website or on alternative app stores). This would entail: 1) agreeing to their terms and conditions 2) paying a fee 3) uploading a government ID Which is wrong on so many levels. Nobody should be forced to register with Google if...
