ICQ is closing down. It was really at its height in 2000 and that is when we integrated ICQ into Opera. We made a small (5k) client and it worked really well.
AOL had purchased ICQ and they were concerned about MSN taking users from them by connecting to their service, so they stopped supporting 3rd party clients. We contacted them, to see if they would make an exception for us, but they did not.
They said that if we removed our 5k client, we could maybe discuss bundling their client, but it was bigger than Opera, so that was not going to happen.
Morning all my peeps on the #Fediverse. Happy Saturday and hopebtye day is going well for y’all so far.
Let’s get together and have our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and see what our plans are for today.
Currently drinking my morning coffee. I’ll be watching the Monaco qualifying and then at 1pm EST I have the @Vivaldi Community Talk with @cliffwade. Rest of the day is free for now.
I'm super excited to announce that @beardedtechguy and myself will be joining the @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net Community Talks show tomorrow, May 25th at 1pm EST.
We'll be discussing why being on the #Fediverse matters to us!
We'd love for you to tune and give it a listen, and you can do so via the link below.

🦋 If you struggle with ADHD or have your focus constantly ruined by a whirlwind of thoughts, then you probably use productivity tools that can help crush those distractions and give you some peace of mind.
Find out how you can say goodbye to those scattered thoughts by customizing the Vivaldi browser to work for your needs and preferences 👇🏻
✨ One #Vivaldi gripe is that I can never remember how to rearrange the icons in my extension panel. They rarely change order, but every once in a while, I need to re-install an extension, and all ordering hell breaks loose.
Turns out, you have to hold down the ⌘ key, then click and drag on the extension icon before letting go of the ⌘ key and then your mouse button.
Good morning #Fediverse friends. Hope your weekend was well.
Let’s take a moment and gather for our daily #KoffeeWithKyle conversation and see what our plans are for this Monday.
I started out with a great meeting with the #Vivaldi Community lead and Ambassador lead. Nice ladies. Glad to be apart of the group. Now having to deal with people at work. 🙄 Later it’s just some schoolwork then relaxing.
I forgot to post about this yesterday, though not surprising due to how extremely busy work has been with the Play Store release of Nova 8.
I applied for the Vivaldi Sopranos program and it looks like I've been accepted. I'll have some accounts setup on Monday for me so I'll be able to dive in head first and see what all is going on.
That means I'm now an Ambassador and a Soprano for @Vivaldi which is pretty exciting!
I'm trying to figure out the best browser combination for my needs. Generally, Firefox covers almost everything I need, but it's slow on Android and drains a lot of battery. I've tried Vivaldi, Chrome, and Brave. Of these, only Brave has the features I need, like full history sync (not just typed URLs), and the ability to send tabs to other devices. However, with its focus on crypto and AI, it seems too hype-driven for me. Also, none of them work on FreeBSD without using a Linux jail.
🎙️ We kicked off the first Live audio Community Talk with our cherished Community members recently.
🎧 In case you missed it, grab your beverage, kick back, and listen as Vivaldi hosts @marialeal and @devina, talk to them about "What makes Vivaldi unique?" 👇🏻
🍎 iOS folks, the new Vivaldi 6.7 has some goodies just for you!
📱 Picture this: You're working on your iPad and constantly have to switch between Vivaldi and other apps or browser windows. Annoying, right? Thanks to multiple windows support, you can say goodbye to that, and focus on what you're doing without interruption.
📝 Keep your digital life organized with more sorting options for Notes and Bookmarks. Plus with Vivaldi Sync in the mix, you can effortlessly transition between your Apple devices with all essential files and folders at your reach.
🌙 The Force Dark Mode gives you a comfortable browsing experience that adapts to your system color scheme.
Upgrade today, with all this and more, for a browsing experience tailored to your needs on your iOS devices. 👇🏻
On the latest update on Vivaldi 6.7, we've amped up Translate, improved the Tracker and Ad blocker functionality, tweaked the Bookmarks manager, and many other features based on YOUR feedback.
🔖 We understand that Bookmarks are one of the most important aspects of your browsing. Now, Vivaldi remembers the last folder you opened in the Bookmarks Panel. We've also tidied up your bookmarks by sorting folders first, making navigation a breeze.
⚙️ We work with Lingvanex continuously to make the built-in Vivaldi Translate more efficient. With an improved performance and the quality of translations, we hope you'll find speedy results.
In addition to the above, we’ve polished the user interface and made improvements to features across the board.
Find out what they are and enjoy browsing with more of these powerful browser features👇🏻
Vous aussi, sur #Linux, vous avez eu droit à une MAJ de #Vivaldi en 6.7.3329.21 (alors que pour le canal Stable, le site officiel et la version Windows disent toujours que la dernière version en date sur ce canal est la .17) ? Ou ce fut propre à #ArchLinux ? 🤔
