As a side note, it is easy to run multiple instances of Vivaldi, so you can run Mail, Calendar and Feeds in one instance and most of your Web browsing in another. There is flexibility here.

@[email protected] , I have not tried them, but it looks like they have taken some inspiration from Vivaldi. Even marketing.

@[email protected] , I am very proud of what we built at Opera at that time, but you will find that and more in Vivaldi now.

This code has not been updated since I stopped working on it in 1994 and started working on Opera instead.

At the time FLOSS was not even a term. The code was open. You would typically compile it yourself. I believe that if you wanted to use it commercially, you would have had to contact Televerkets Forskningsinstitutt, which I was working for at the time.

The conversion was for multi-file documents, which included links, images, tables, indexes and more. The structure of the original document was preserved, as was a lot of the formatting.

FrameMaker was widely used in the research community at the time. It was a very powerful tool for writing books and longer documents.

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.

I am sad to see the layoffs at the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla plays an important role on the Internet. I may not always agree with the choices they make, but they still play an important role. (social.vivaldi.net)

Based on my little survey, 81% believe search has become worse with the introduction of AI.

Do the search engine makers care or will they continue in the same direction?

IMHO, if you want to show something as the definite answer to a question, it better be right and not some AI generated stuff.

The goal for search should be to have the best possible search results. Typically AI generated stuff is not that. You would like the original information and not a rehash.
