Unfortunately, day 2 of Web Summit has been cancelled due to weather. I had so looked forward to this talk, but not this time. However, I have two more talks on Thursday and I hope those of you at Web Summit will attend those instead. We are also having a press conference Thursday, so we’re staying busy. And you should stay tuned.

#Vivaldi 8.3 has arrived with new and improved ad blocking, among other cool new features. I love getting new options in my browser since it's the application I spend the most time in, hands down, and Vivaldi lets me make it my own.

Same day as our release of Vivaldi for your computer, we release an update for Vivaldi on your phone. Massive update this time, with an update to the tracker and ad blocker, but also other significant improvements on both iOS and Android. On iOS we have improved speed a lot. On Android we have a new media controls.

Enjoy!

This year the @Vivaldi team visited Siglufjörður as part of our yearly visit to Iceland. Parts of the team live in Iceland, but other members of the team live in Norway and around Europe.

It is great to spend quality time together. I feel lucky to work with such a dedicated team, who have common, shared values.

We have a lot of cool stuff coming up, which I look forward to sharing with you!

@jon I'm 95% with you Jon, with a few notable exceptions. Truly great as #Vivaldi is, until the day there's a suitable alternative (i.e. not different profiles) to Firefox's multi-account containers, I'll be sticking with #Firefox, because that feature it's just too critical to my workflow. I also much prefer running straight #Debian (stable) on all my systems and favor the #noai DDG alternative [https://noai.duckduckgo.com/] over their stock offering. Been a Fastmail customer for more than a decade.

For a long time we have made our selves gradually more and more dependent on Big Tech. This applies when it comes to operating system, to browsers, to various services, to storage and now when it comes to AI.

More and more are realizing this was and is wrong.

You can take the first steps to be independent as a person or company. Obviously, given that you are here, you have already taken some steps. Here are some suggestions:

1. Switch browser... to Vivaldi. :)
2. Switch desktop OS. Personally I have switched to Linux. Currently running Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Zorin on different computers.
3. Switch mail service. Proton and Fastmail are good services, but there are others. Choose one that allows use of a mail client.
4. Switch calendar service. Most mail services also offer a calendar service.
5. Switch office package. Personally I use LibreOffice.
6. Switch Web conferencing software. Personally I use Whereby.
7. Switch search. Startpage, Ecosia, Qwant and DDG are great alternatives.

There are a lot of other great choices. The point is to start taking those steps away from Big Tech and Silicon Valley.

Seeing a lot more messages like this. Sometimes multiple times on the same site during the same session. Also seeing more geo blocking of sites.

The principle of the Web is in many ways global access, but that is eroding in some ways. AI is not helping there with harvesting of data. Too many bots.

There is a choice for those that are fed up of Big Tech. There are great options out there. May I suggest you try @Vivaldi ?
