At @Vivaldi , we make browsers. Powerful browsers, with more functionality than others, but still browsers.

@jon 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.

@jon @Vivaldi isn't your browser built on Chromium?

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@philip_cardella @Vivaldi

It is.

[philip_cardella@historians.social]

@jon @Vivaldi when I have to have a Chromium based browser I only use Vivaldi.

I would say I prefer Firefox but their self inflicted wound of pursuing AI is a complete and total betrayal and turn off.

I'm glad you folks are out there.

As others have said I wish you were built on Firefox because Mozilla has faults but Google can KMA.

@philip_cardella @Vivaldi

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.

@fablog

We recommend looking through our forum (https://forum.vivaldi.net/) first to see if the issue you're encountering has been discussed there and whether there are suggestions for a fix you can apply yourself or updates about the dev team working on it.

If you don't find anything relevant there, you can start a new discussion yourself and/or file a detailed bug report on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/.

@MarcusAnthonyCyganiak @jon @Vivaldi Does it work with 1Password?

[grymas_tysiaclecia@pol.social]

@jon

Do you plan to be able to separate website sessions between workspaces? I miss this, and it sounds like an obvious feature.

@Vivaldi

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@grymas_tysiaclecia @Vivaldi

We will evaluate moving forward.

[vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net]

@chris
Yes, you can use 1Password in Vivaldi. :tony_happy:

@jon @Vivaldi Would it be possible for you to create an AppImage or a Flatpak for Linux?

[jon@social.vivaldi.net]

@HeadBarista @Vivaldi

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