We have created a Flatpak for Linux already. It is currently experimental, but it is there.

 

Some of our browser competitors are all in on Crypto. We are not.

You can read about why below.

After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.

What did you use?

#Computer #Atari #Amiga #RetroGaming #Linux

 

Sinclair Spectrum or Commodore 64?

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81. I had it about a year before I switched to a Sinclair Spectrum and a couple of years later I moved on to Sinclair QL.

Some friends of mine had a Commodore 64. They were more expensive, better hardware, but less accessible when it came to programming, IMHO, at least using Basic. So my friends did more gaming and I did more programming.

Did you have any of these? Which camp were you in?

The browser can not be used while the vehicle is moving. This is for use only when stationary.

You will see browsers in most all cars in a few years.

I do hope you do not browse on your phone while driving... Not a good idea.

Sometimes we spend time in the car while it is stationary. Having a browser on the big screen is pretty nice then, IMHO.

 

If you have a new vehicle running Android Automotive, it is quite likely that @[email protected] is available for it.

  • Polestar
  • Volvo
  • Renault
  • Mercedes
  • Audi
  • Porsche
  • Ford
  • Lincoln
  • Link & Co

These are some of the brands that have at least some vehicles that can run Vivaldi. There are a lot more brands and vehicles coming!

Do you have such a vehicle? Installed Vivaldi yet?

We will evaluate moving forward.

 

I do not know about you, but to me this survey is a great reason for people to join us here on Mastodon. If you have friends that will like this, how about inviting them? We have room on Vivaldi Social, but there are also a lot of other great servers out there!

#Linux #Windows #macos #Computer #mobile #Android #ios

 

I asked you what OS you are using on a daily basis. The survey allowed you to select more than one OS. These are the results:

There really are a lot of Linux users here. Happy to see that. Windows and Mac are similar in size. Android is larger than iOS, but not by a much in this survey.

A few are using ChromeOS, but there is an impressive 3% using other OS on a daily basis!

The reason why the numbers do not add up to 100 is that you can specify more than one OS. Most will likely run 2, one for their computer and one for their mobile. Some mention that they run more than that. It is also interesting to see how many run things that are not listed.

Thanks for supporting us. Most of the payment for merch goes to pay for the merch. Not much comes to us for that, but we are clearly very happy that you use our merch!

Ideally we would have liked to build our own core, but having done that before, we knew that would not be viable.

So we were left with basically two choices and the safest bet was Chromium. We feel this is a strong codebase and having had to deal with compatibility issues in the past, we feel this was the best choice we could make.

We do a lot of work to make this Chromium based release as strong as possible. We have features not found in any other browser and we have more settings and flexibility than any other browser. We do listen as well.

Thanks for your support.

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.

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.

 

What OS are you using on a daily basis?

#Windows #macos #Linux #Android #iOS #Chromeos #Computer #mobile #Vivaldi

 

In the US, the top 3 selling cars are trucks. The Ford F150, Chevrolet Silverado and the RAM Pickup. We are starting to see a few Cybertrucks on the road as well. IMHO, the ugliest car on the planet.

If you were to choose, what would you go for?

I would go for the F150 EV. Pretty nice. I clearly have a bias for electric vehicles of any size.

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

What we are not is:

  1. An OS company.
  2. A search company.
  3. An ad company.
  4. 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!
