Hello. This is my #Introduction.

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.

You are a pioneer in the development of innovative web browsers.

You are a superhero without a cape, protect the privacy of us users and stand up for an open and free web.

You are an inspiration to many people. Not least because of you, I am a professional developer myself.

Thank you for your passion and commitment. :tony_happy:

Hi @[email protected] ,
I have been using #Vivaldi for around 2 years. I love some of the amazing features like Page Tiling and Notes. I use MS Edge OLNY FOR its natural TTS.

Would you please introduce this #feature here?

Also, please improve the Mailbox.

Cheers

@[email protected] , thank you for your kind words. What do you mean by TTS?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hi @[email protected]

Sorry for not clarifying. I love the "Read Aloud" feature of MS Edge. The voice sounds more natural than any other free "Text to Speech" engines. I particularly love this feature because as a non-native English speaker, it helps me read faster and make me feel more comfortable. Reading newspapers, long articles / blogs is much more comfortable with this feature. In addition, combined with and ePub add on, I also read ebooks with MS Edge.

@[email protected] Hi Jon, nice to meet you. I am an English-Polish translator, have been working in the field for 30 years, 2/3 of it using CAT (Computer Aided Translation) software. I respect your approach to open standards, Vivaldi has been my browser of choice for quite a long time, it quickly replaced Firefox which I long considered untouchable and indispensable. Hope you'll be able to bear the open standards flag for many years to come.
