If you use Linux and feel let down by AI taking over your browser and the lack of easy customization options available, Sean Davis @bluesabre tells you why our powerful browser is worth your attention.
Read all about it as Sean explains what it means to be a Chromium browser, shares his favorite features, and talks about our Linux Community and all the wonderful people behind making Vivaldi what it is today. 👇🏻
Having some of the vivaldi features (calendar/mail/RSS and notes) as separate, installable programs and apps, with sync and all of that, would be a great idea
Especially notes would be great to have on mobile, where many people (cough @thelinuxcast cough) have a hard time finding a decent note-taking software with good sync
Could also make it easier for you to make more parts open source
If you made mail/RSS/calendar available standalone, it could honestly rival thunderbird
(Which is cool for such a young feature)
It could make it slightly easier to migrate, and could make it easier to introduce people to vivaldi, without making it necessary for people to switch browsers if they "don't like change" (even though it's easy to make vivaldi look "just like chrome")
Of course I don't think you should remove those features from the browser itself (no one wants what happened to Firefox/thunderbird to happen to vivaldi)
@Vivaldi@AllThingsTech@cliffwade@beardedtechguy oooh! Can't wait! Gonna have to make room for this on my calendar... 😅 I've invited the folks at fedihosting.foundation to listen along aswell!
If you've been thinking of switching browsers or contemplating whether you should set the Vivaldi browser as default, find out what @xdadevelopers has to say about what makes our browser stand out in the crowd. 👇🏻
@Vivaldi@xdadevelopers I still need to try out Arc, but it seems big on sidebars. And I do not like sidebars.
Except for Opera, the others are still installed on my old laptop.
I like trying out different browsers, and currently I'm using Floorp :)
@Vivaldi@xdadevelopers I've tried to go to XDA, but I'm annoyed by their "Please disable ad blocking" full web page notice.
I'm surprised that a browser like yours would recommend a place that requires intrusive advertisements to work, knowing how much you guys hate intrusive adverts.
🦋 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 👇🏻
@beardedtechguy Vivaldi has done a spectacular job just locking me into their browser. I use it for so much I don't even know where I'd begin with a different one. Another example is the Panel. As an admin of an instance, I spend a LOT of time here on Mastodon, and I'm constantly looking stuff up and taking notes. Something that I'm sure has been there forever and I never noticed is the ability to drag text from the active tab to a panel. Works AMAZINGLY for notes and translating.
📋ADHDers love curating Reading Lists to stay on track.
🫣Going back to them, though, is another story.
Have you tried giving yourself little rewards when you check off read items from the list? Because they totally count as mini victories! 🥳
It's true that neurodivergent minds are energized and motivated when they set and execute goals, gain achievements, communicate, create, strategize, innovate, or serve and connect with people.
But the constant whirlwind of killer ideas and endless possibilities, without the reigns of process, structure, and execution, can get debilitating.
🧰 To help you crush those distractions, we've curated a list of helpful tools available for you to use on our browser.
Building systems and leveraging productivity tools can set you up for success and manage your scattered thoughts.
Our built-in Reading List is one such example, read the blog for more👇
@Vivaldi I applied for a job at Opera, Grünerløkka. Application was rejected. I wasn't organised enough, I expect. If Vivaldi wants a talented programmer now, I'm prepared to step up.
@Vivaldi The built in reading list is an amazing feature. Recently you've added the ability to share links directly to the reading list, which is a fantastic addition. I love being able to add a link from any app (usually my feed reader) on my phone easily to the reading list and just pick it up and read it next time I'm on my computer or tablet.
🍎 Our browser on iOS does more than follow your system's light/dark setting. By updating to Vivaldi 6.7, you can now Force Dark Mode on websites anytime your system is in dark mode.
If you’re running Vivaldi on iOS or your iPadOS, what have you liked so far about the latest release?
We’re keen to know! Tell us👇
PS- If you’re new to the party, we just released Vivaldi 6.7 across platforms. Take a minute and find out what’s new in Vivaldi 6.7.
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👇🏻
🎙️ 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?" 👇🏻
@Vivaldi I appreciate your efforts in attempting to reproduce this issue. Regarding the problem I reported, it occurs only in the web page area. If you need information about my device or OS version, please let me know.
@miyu
We released a new version of Vivaldi on Android yesterday. If you haven't already, please update the app and keep an eye out for the issue. Personally, I haven't seen any blank pages recently, so hopefully the bug is gone.
