To get it out of the way; Obviously, yes this chromium and most of us agree that anything Firefox-like is the way to go. This post is not a “Vivaldi is better than xyz”, this is a, “give it a try” type of post. So, hear me out fellow privacists.

I recently downloaded this Vivaldi Browser based on this rather good and open interview between Techlore and Vivaldi CEO.

So this is a browser developed in Norway, and to my surprise this was a super pleasant experience! The browser is very very fast, its super customizable and has hands down the best tab management I’ve ever tried (seriously wish Firefox had this). It also has some really a neat shortcut system for quick access to different actions. Furthermore they seem to care about all linux distros, with support also for ARM.

I’ve only used the browser for a few days, but the experience is so fluent I just had to share a post about it. The team seem really genuine and open. There are also no third party investors involved with Vivaldi. It is owned by all the employees.

So if you need or want to try a fresh browser I highly highly suggest to give Vivaldi a try: https://vivaldi.com/

    This is me too! I know that Vivaldi could stand to use a couple of more points privacy-wise, but given everything else it has going for it, it’s still pretty good. I also really liked that interview with the ceo as it cleared up some issues for me.
