I'm going to start making a very strong effort to NOT use any products that include AI, and supporting ONLY companies that refuse to use it.

First example:

I was on the fence about whether to use Firefox or Vivaldi as my main web browser moving forward. Mozilla made the decision really easy for me. And before all of the, "But Vivaldi isn't 100% Open Source," comments...Yes, I'm very much aware of this, but at this point, I no longer care. I hate AI THAT MUCH, and extremely sick of companies pumping it into everything just to stay up with the cool kids. Oh, and those companies are helping burn the planet. We don't need any extra help with that.

Quick tip: turn browser sticky notes into permanent notes!

Got a brilliant idea on your browser's sticky note widget? Don't let it disappear! ✨

Here's how to save it permanently:

- Click the 3-dot menu on your sticky note
- Select "Save to a Note"

Now your thought is saved and easily accessible from your Notes Panel. If you have Sync enabled, it'll be available across all your devices too! ✔️

I like how #YouTubeMuisc gives me shit for all my browsers. Vivaldi comes up, "Your browser is deprecated. Please update." And Firefox says, "Before you continue"

I suspect that its bitching about my adblocking, but who knows.

::EDIT:: I should mention that this is in the little boxes that pop up on Mastodon for links. It plays fine once I click on it.

Continued thread

One thing that's come out of this is that with their terrible moderation practices, I stopped using Vivaldi.

If they'd either moderated, or stayed out of social media, maybe I'd still use their browser, but as things stand, no way!

Promote other accounts on your Vivaldi Social profile.

Whether it’s an additional account you run, someone you’re associated with, or just really like, you can feature their profile on your own, making it easier for others to discover them as well.

To feature an account:

  1. Go to the account’s profile.
  2. Make sure you follow their account.
  3. Click on the 3-dot menu below their account’s header image.
  4. Select “Feature on profile”.

好きな DNS Over HTTPS プロバイダーを選択しよう

ウェブサイトを開くには、DNS(ドメインネームシステム)プロバイダーを通して IP アドレスを取得する必要があります。DNS は保護された HTTPS 接続を介して DNS サーバーにアクセスし、デバイスと DNS サーバー間で送信されるすべてのデータを暗号化します。

デスクトップ版 Vivaldi で DNS プロバイダーを選択するには:

  1. 設定 > ネットワーク に移動する
  2. DNS Lookup Over HTTPS が有効なことを確認する
  3. 好きなプロバイダーを選択する

ワンタップでモバイルの設定を終了する方法

Vivaldi には、ユーザーのワークフローや好みに応じてブラウザをカスタマイズできる設定が多数備わっています。簡単にナビゲートできるよう、設定はフォルダーにわかりやすく分けられているので、設定を切り替える際は、いくつかのレベルを行ったり来たりします。設定を切り替えたら、戻るボタンを何度も使って元に戻る代わりに、画面右側の「X」(Android)「完了」 (iOS)をタップするだけで終了し、ブラウジングを再開できます。

As much as I love the way #vivaldi_browser handles tabs, tab groups and workspaces, I've reluctantly moved back to #firefox. Poor memory management and regular freezes make #Vivaldi almost completely unusable and it's been getting worse with every new release. Shame.

*EDIT* - Added 'workspaces'.

@OnlyFjords: Is It a Joke? And Will It Last?”
#ThePhantomsThoughts article: thepfromtheo.vivaldi.net/2025/

“This saying caught my attention:

You deserve something different. Something untouched by urgency.

The answer isn’t no content.

It’s the right content.”

“Now, I like this, but why only fjords, Vivaldi? This question came in my mind soon after watching the video. But Vivaldi was ready for that:

Because they’re stunning. But also because we believe the internet should be just as majestic, not stripped down to whatever keeps people doom scrolling the longest.”

“[…] it’s only fjords.

🙂

So yeah, that’s the point. I don’t have any fjord photo, and this means… that I can only come from time to time and see what people posted there? It looks like that.”
