32 years ago I started working on my first browser, Opera. I left Opera in 2011, but two years later I co-founded Vivaldi. Thus I have been making browsers now for 32 years, with a short break there between 2011 and 2013.
I have always felt that this work is important and no less today than before as more and more of you see the importance of alternatives to Big Tech.
Vivaldi is a European company with headquarters in Norway, servers in Iceland and team in Norway, Iceland, across Europe, Japan and a couple in the US.
We try our best to adapt to your needs. We build powerful browsers, with a lot of flexibility.
I welcome you to try us out and share with your friends!

Russia adds Hungary to 'unfriendly countries' list after Magyar wins
The new Hungarian Prime Minister supports good relations with Europe On Sunday, April 12, parliamentary elections were held in Hungary.RBC-Ukraine
Spain and Belgium have pledged a combined 2 billion euros ($2.35 billion) in new military aid to Ukraine following recent defense talks, officials said.

Von der Leyen uses Orbán defeat to push for end of veto in EU foreign policy
European Commission president said Hungarian election results gives governments “momentum” to change decision-making rules.Gerardo Fortuna (POLITICO)
“The new legislation, expected later this year, would give ministers a fast-track route for introducing draft laws to align with future European standards designed to ensure a single market in the trade of goods and services.
The new powers would apply to agreements they are planning with the EU on food standards, carbon pricing for industry and electricity trading.
New rules would be introduced as "secondary" legislation, which receives less scrutiny and gives MPs a more limited role in approving it.
This echoes the process that was followed before Brexit - when the government adopted hundreds of such laws each year to fulfil EU legal obligations.
But it is likely to prove more controversial this time, ***because the UK no longer has voting rights at the EU to shape European legislation in the first place.***”
If it speaks English and it moves, there’s a high chance it will shoot itself in the foot.

A Tisza victory could lead to an overhaul in relations between Budapest and Brussels.Sion Pennar (Telewizja Polska S.A)
All eyes on Hungary today. It would be great to see an end to Orbán, a right-wing authoritarian populist who has really been difficult for the EU (and Ukraine). A victory for Magyar won't automatically mean a reset to pluralism & democracy given how deeply Orban has changed institutions. But it will still send a strong signal to his authoritarian friends around the world. #Hungary #EU #Orban #Magyar #Ukraine

Must read for every #EU official. We must build our own, independent and open technology. Because when it comes to Trump: “Trump treats every capitulation as a sign of weakness that signals that he can safely ignore his end of the bargain and demand twice as much. For Trump, the "art of the deal" can be summed up in one word: reneging.”

In a January 2023 “progress memo” reviewed by MS NOW, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office discussed the possible motive after the FBI discovered that Trump held on to and concealed many documents related to his businesses.
