I post the Blogposts here as they appear in my feed

Maybe you can understand if I explain here my reasons for using Vivaldi as my main browser (I also have Mullvad, Otter and SSuite Netsurf on hand for testing reasons).

  • It is the only EU browser left, after the sadly death of the UR browser some years ago, that can take on the large US companies, which it also actively does.
  • No one is more focused on user needs offering more services and features than anyone else, avoiding the need to use third party ones.
  • It is not a company like others, it is a small cooperative owned by its employees, which also coincides with my political philosophy of what companies should be.
  • Despite using Blink, it is independent of Google or any other external investor, there is no Alphabet, googleanalytics or googletagmanager that can track the user, as Mozilla does due to its contract with Google (FF is a good privacy browser, but not so much with an account and sync with Mozilla, well, still better than others).

There is no perfect browser that fits everyone's needs, but I think it is worth promoting Vivaldi for the points mentioned.
