At @[email protected] , we make browsers. Powerful browsers, with more functionality than others, but still browsers.

What we are not is:

An OS company.
A search company.
An ad company.
An AI company.

None of our major competitors can really say the same. We focus on doing one thing really well.

If you like that, give us a try! If you are already with us, please share with your friends!

@[email protected] don’t you have a mastodon instance? And an email client? And a feed reader? And a calendar?

Vivaldi has a lot of features you do not find in any browser. You mention some of them. We do have an email client, feed reader and calendar. We also have very powerful tab handling, mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts and quick commands. We even have web panels. So we are very feature rich. We also provide sync functionality between the different browsers, which is fully encrypted. And we are proud to be the only browser company to have our own Mastodon instance. We also provide blogs and forums as well as a way to share themes. We are very focused on bringing what our users want.

Our users are not asking us to be an OS company. They want us to support their OS.

Our users are not asking us to be a search company. There are other, good options out there.

Our users clearly do not want us to be an ad company.

And our users are clear that AI is not something they want us to integrate. If they want to use AI, they can use AI services out there. No need to integrate it.

So we focus on what people want and we are proud of it.

@[email protected] Being anti-AI feels like a weird blanket product "strategy" but good luck!

We basically focus on what our users want. If we were public, there might be a focus on just doing what others are doing, to get funding. That is not where we are. We just focus on what people need and as you mentioned, it is a lot.
