@jon@social.vivaldi.net Definitely have! While I use Waterfox as my day-to-day choice mainly due to familiarity with Gecko, Vivaldi's been my immediate backup and as I get more and more comfortable with it, it might end up being the new main. I've been loving the features you guys offer. Less worried about the old MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin as I once was as I'll just simply not use a site or service if the built in blocker, with some extra filters, can't do the job.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net the built-in ad-blocker is great. Works even on youtube video ads

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I love Vivaldi. I met it due to it is installed in the computers of my school (I am a teacher in middle and high school) Wonderful.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net How do you pay your rent? Where is Vivaldi generating money?

@jon@social.vivaldi.net i know you've adblocker. But do you have compartimentalization between sites? PS: I tend to unblock ads using ABP's privacy respecting ad sites list.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I love how Vivalidi is the only mainstream browser that allows you to have the URL field in the tab bar natively.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Vivaldi is still a problem. Your browser is not only closed source software, but it is based on Chromium, meaning you are just another Google browser, like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. I am unhappy with Firefox at the moment, but I will keep using it, as I refuse to support Google.
-
@TheZorse@hear-me.social 2026-01-16 01:27
@jon@social.vivaldi.net It looked promising when I checked it out, but I'd humbly recommend that either the Google checkboxes be unchecked by default, or the user is shown a message during setup pointing them out.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net In the words of my mother: vivaldi is too messy out of the box. That, together with the pain one has to go through if one wants to remove all the "big tech" style ads and disable the associated trickery, makes it really hard to recommend.

@caycedo@oye.social 2026-01-16 01:41
@jon@social.vivaldi.net how working with chromium makes Vivaldi away from big tech?

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I’m loving Vivaldi as a recent convert but the last piece of my workflow puzzle is stack syncing between mobile and desktop. 🙏

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Is it easy to migrate from Firefox and keep saved bookmarks and login passwords ?

@evan@cosocial.ca 2026-01-16 03:39
@jon@social.vivaldi.net Vivaldi is my daily drive. You share my values about what the internet should be. And you give Vivaldi users a place on the Fediverse. Most of all, it's a great browser. Thanks for what you do.

@qlp@linh.social 2026-01-16 03:44
@jon@social.vivaldi.net While I prefer to use Firefox as my primary browser (partly at a way to show that non-Chromium browsers are still important), but Vivaldi is my go-to Chromium-based browser.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I really like Vivaldi, especially the sessions functionality. There's only one issue: after the first start up of the day, every subsequent time I start Vivaldi it takes something like 30 seconds before I can use it. It becomes totally unresponsive during that time. I've been in contact with support, but so far there has not been a solution. Which is a shame because apart from that it runs great. This is on Windows btw.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net @inthehands@hachyderm.io This browser is very nice, but I would love for it to do one thing, be a bit more privet. Would be super cool if you would scramble the fingerprint on it, to provide another layer of security, without the need for plugins.

@h4890@alive.bar 2026-01-16 08:56
@jon@social.vivaldi.net Hello Vivaldi, can you drop the chrome engine and use the Ladybird (https://ladybird.org/) one? I think that would be great to reduce the power and influence of google over the internet!

@zersiax@cupoftea.social 2026-01-16 09:46
@jon@social.vivaldi.net Last time I tried Vivaldi, I recall facing some #accessibility issues. Have you chosen to prioritize that aspect of user requested improvement, or should I look elsewhere? :)

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Does this browser play the Vivaldi Spring during loading times ? 🤔

@androcat@toot.cat 2026-01-16 13:04
@jon@social.vivaldi.net One thing I keep hearing is that there might be some vulnerability involved in using a Chromium base. Do you have plans for breaking out of that, if threats materialize?

@mander@corteximplant.net 2026-01-16 13:47
@jon@social.vivaldi.net Isn't vivaldi chromium based?

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Iceland is a wonderful country with forward-looking legislation, but as a sparsely populated country like Greenland, it is vulnerable to invasion and occupation by bigger powers as occurred during WW2. Do you have any contingency plans if Mad King Trump decides he'd like to add Iceland as a bauble to his empire?

@jon@social.vivaldi.net In fact, I really want to see a built-in translation feature for YouTube and PeerTube videos in the future.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I quite enjoy using Vivaldi on my work computer, helping to stack mu hundreds of tabs into groups on the tab bar (with custom tab names), and select multiple tabs to tile them in the window. Zillions of settings options, and easily customized keyboard shortcuts. Oh, and being able to attach/upload a file directly from the downloads panel without having to hunt for it in my file manager? *chef's kiss* I've reported a couple of bugs and the worst ones were addressed very quickly!

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Why doesn’t my Vivaldi web history never sync between Mac computers that use my same Vivaldi sync account? That’s been an ongoing issue for several years, in my experience.

@asterix@mstdn.social 2026-01-19 12:14
@jon@social.vivaldi.net Impressive European browser, but I still prefer Firefox as it is open-source and not reliant on Chromium.
