Vivaldi, 6 months ago to mastodon

On this day one year ago we opened our #Mastodon instance, #VivaldiSocial. The first browser company to do so. 🎉

We believe a distributed, open standards, non-tracking #SocialNetwork is a better solution than the current popular social networks which build massive profiles on users and contribute to division and hate.

We’re happy to be part of the #Fediverse and are grateful that more than 40 000 people have chosen Vivaldi Social as their home. 🏠

#FlashbackFriday

Vivaldi, 10 months ago to mastodon

End of last year we launched our own #Mastodon server Vivaldi Social, becoming the first #browser company to step into the decentralized world of the #fediverse.

Our goal was to offer better #alternatives for people to communicate in an algorithm-free environment with no surveillance capitalism, devoid of tracking or #dataprofiling.

Your data is yours, and others shouldn’t have access to it, let alone profit from it. 🙅

This is something we stand by, which is why we’ve always campaigned against tracking malpractices. We made our Sync service end-to-end encrypted for the same reason: to ensure that your data remains yours.

On the occasion of #dataprivacyweek, we’ll be posting content to help raise awareness about the importance of steering away from privacy-unfriendly habits.

👊A fun-sized update to Vivaldi 6.6 that truly packs a punch!

An extra day to the month gave us an extra day to make Vivaldi yours, even more. So let's get right into it:

📧 With growing mailboxes and multiple mail accounts, finding an email can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. With more search tools in Vivaldi Mail, you will instantly find that one email among thousands.

🌎 Experience faster translations with Vivaldi Translate, our reliable and private translation service that currently supports 108 languages. You’ll also notice improvements in the quality of translation for some key languages.

🧩 Web Panels—web pages that you can add to your side panel—will now work more like a regular tab with extended extension capabilities and page navigation.

Extension developers can now extend the functionality of Vivaldi by adding entire new Panels using the Side Panel extension API.

👋🏼 Say hello to Dark Mode. Love Dark mode but the website doesn’t support it? Vivaldi will now automatically generate a dark theme by adapting any website's color scheme.

These are just some of the new updates and you can read more about what's new in Vivaldi 6.6 in the blog below ⤵️

Vivaldi, 2 months ago to tech

It's Friday and we have a new party trick! 🤹

By popular demand, your Vivaldi browser can now auto-adapt to any website's color palette, whipping up a dark color theme for those websites still living in the light ages.😎

And yes, this includes websites that don't offer their site in dark mode.

You can now force it to go dark by selecting the “Dark” option and enabling Force a Dark theme on all websites.

Just go to Settings > Appearance > Website Appearance and choose between light, dark, or auto.

We're excited to give you more ways to make the browser yours.

Read more about it and tell us what you think about this update.👇🏻

Vivaldi, 6 months ago to Facebook

Those using #Facebook and #Instagram in Europe will now be given two choices: continue using them for free with ads, or pay to avoid having their data collected for #TargetedAdvertising. 🙄

The measure comes as a response to the concerns expressed by the EU in regards to the ad and data collection practices by Meta.

(You can read Meta's statement here: https://about.fb.com/news/2023/10/facebook-and-instagram-to-offer-subscription-for-no-ads-in-europe/)

Meanwhile...here we are, enjoying our independent and free social media platform, with no ads and no algorithms. :tony_wee: 🎉
