@Vivaldi, I prefer to suck my elbow before registering for any Zuckerbot or Musk service.
Those who use these services are already recorded down to their ancestors with all the data down to their shoe size.

“In one instance, a voice artist told the association about being hired by an automotive company for what she was thought was a vehicular navigation system. “Without any contract in place, she started recording her voice,” said Akshay Shetty, the association’s lawyer. “But the script that was given to her had nothing to do with navigation. She had to read random words and excerpts from a novel. What she didn’t realise than was that her voice was being used to train the AI.”
@majorlinux, I suppose forcing Twitter users to implant them in their brains, so that they do what Musk wants. It is a good method so that X does not lose more users (the chips explode when the user unsubscribes from X)

Who here wouldn’t want to remove unnecessary apps, save resources, and space on their computers? 🙋🏼
So, whether you just bought yourself a shiny new computer or want to optimize your existing one—@xdadevelopers tells you how the Vivaldi browser (and 9 other apps) can make your experience on Windows even sweeter 👇
So what does it mean for a browser to have AI built in? Does it mean that it is using your browsing data? Is it using it for ads or for profiling?
Is AI just another reason to collect your data? What are the so-called AI browsers doing today?
Would you use a browser that has AI built in?
I have provided three choices. The first one is that you want AI and do not care if the data is used for ads and profiling. Two : you do not want AI at all. Three: Want AI, but only if the data is not used for other purposes, such as ads and profiling.
@jon, I recently had a discussion about this topic on the forum and I have a pretty clear position on the use of AI. AI is here to stay and is included in more and more applications. Naturally you have to look very carefully at the PP before using it, since many leave much to be desired regarding privacy.
But the problem is also another, there is currently an immense variety of AI apps and services for the most diverse tasks, which makes it practically impossible to decide which of them can work for all users, it is not enough to embed a ChatGPT in Vivaldi, like Mainstream browsers are doing it now, more for fashion and commercial reasons than for necessity.
I think it is much more sensible that each user chooses from the more than 7000 AI apps, extensions, scripts and services which cover exactly what they need.
Personally I use Andisearch as my main search engine and the Perplexity extension, it is useful to me, but it can only speak for myself. Andi PP (https://andisearch.com/privacy/), I think you'll like
@Vivaldi, I don't use search suggestions. After decades of internet, I have hal the content in my bookmarks and for specific searches I go to the corresponding reliable source (Wiki, Wolphram, diccionarys, research centers, etc.), now with AI (Andisearch) made easier.
@Vivaldi, Google has more than 50 easter eggs, apparently their devs are getting very bored, which is why I'm not going to list them. But there is an easter egg in the Wordpress TOS, where at the end in "Disclaimer" there is a tasty Treat.
In Vivaldi, perhaps we can consider https://vivaldi.com/en/onemillion/ as an easter egg.
It always gives us immense joy to know how each of you use the Vivaldi browser, what you think of it, and how we can make it better for you.
We’re eager to know how you personalize Vivaldi to suit your needs with custom themes, tab management hacks, and everything that makes the browser uniquely yours.
Nick Zorn, who’s tried many browsers, shares how our browser in particular has helped boost his productivity drastically.👇
>We found this website capturing user keystrokes.
Key logging is when a website captures the text that you type into a webpage before you hit the submit button. This technique has been used to identify anonymous web users by matching them to postal addresses and real names. This technique was used by four percent of popular websites when we scanned them in September 2020.
On the site you are inspecting, information entered in the name, family-name, given-name fields were logged.

@Ann1944, one of my favorite musicians, Mike Oldfield, left a bad taste in my mouth when I read that he is a Trump fan, and he also supported Brexit. He was even trying to get involved in Trump's election. Adding him to the list of famous Trump supporters.
@Vivaldi, bookmarks are vital, they contain 20years of my browser history. But this is also a chaos, because it need often mantenance to gut out a lot of discontinued sites or not longer needed. Buton the other hand, I often I don't even need to search in the web, when i need some resources or informations.
So I've a lot of bookmark folders well sorted with all I may need, or direct access to the sites I use daily.
@Vivaldi@jonsvt, In principle, it doesn't matter to me which engine the browser uses, I'm more interested in the fact that it doesn't contain scripts that profile and track the user. At this point I know that Vivaldi uses Chromium as it should, without Big Brother embedded.
