One browser switch. Infinite small victories every time you open it. Math is fun.

Season 2 of our podcast "For a Better Web" premieres tomorrow! With guest Patricia Egger head of Security at @proton.me

If you ever see a bunch of Norwegians standing in silence and *somehow* close to each other despite being strangers, all looking in the same direction: they’re not members of a cult, they’re just sunbathing.

The skies are blue. The sun is shining. I just saw a tiny dog wearing tiny winter boots and having fun in the snow. Today is going to be a good day. ☀️

The anti-Big-Tech movement isn’t a trend, it’s a correction. We spent 20 years accepting surveillance capitalism as normal. Now we’re remembering we have choices. 🔥

Let's start the week with some good news: we are now over 4 million Vivaldi users! 😍 🎉 Thank you for choosing us!

Now that AI can take care of online exploration for you, you don’t need your brain anymore! 🧠 As a preventative measure, make sure you store it properly. Get your brainsoaker today at brainsoaker.com (brain not included)

Winter life in the Nordics is not for the faint of heart. Meant to post about how happy we were that the sun was out today. Forgot about it for a few hours. The sun is now gone. 😭

Today's Start Page background is pretty neat, if I may say so 🌅 (You can get daily images from Unsplash, by clicking on the settings icon on the top right corner, then selecting Background Image > Daily Image)

Still drunk in love from Saturday 💕 Hit me up with your #1 feature request and I'll share the most popular with the rest of the team. Anything goes, 3, 2, 1... 🚀

POV: you order your Valentine's Day cards from your favourite Little Tech company 💕💕

PSA for my friends still leaving in the past: today is (was?) Friday 13th. Thank god for time zones, I'm in the clear now. Phew. 😮‍💨 Don't do anything silly, need you in one piece so we can spend the most romantic day of the year together! 💕 💻

When someone says "lunch" and you know its waffle-and-brown-cheese Friday.

Current office background noise: our chef preparing a sweet potato & coconut milk soup 🍜 I wish you guys could smell this. Warm lunches are in my top 3 reasons why I love working in this company. 😌

Disclaimer: no devs where involved in this (clearly) unwanted feature. It was just us social media managers trying to have fun 🥲

Tab Hoarding alignment chart ⚔️ We definitely have a bunch of chaotic characters around the office...Where would you fall?

Someone said we should add an open/close jingle to Vivaldi. Thoughts? a) YES b) Yes, but only upon start, who closes their browser? c) No, you're insane

Words of wisdom on a Monday morning ☕️

Our first tagline was "a browser for our friends", and although we have a better marketing team now than we had 10 years ago...these words say a lot about who we are. ☺️

Snow falling outside, a cup of hot chocolate in hand and the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony on. In Norway, we call this "kos". ☕️❄️

February goal: Tell one person how easy switching to Vivaldi actually was. Help them escape too.

You asked for tabs that stay in place, they now obey, with the utmost grace. Vivaldi grows because you care, your voices shape what we prepare. Vivaldi 7.8 for mobile is live today 🌼

Vivaldi 7.8 just landed ✨ Pin your tabs. Live your life. Update now. vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi...

Norwegians love Winter Olympics so much we developed a feature to watch it all at the same time. 🇳🇴🥇

As our CEO beautifully puts it: "We spend our engineering time on stability and features users actually requested. Not on AI assistants that hallucinate answers, while training on your private browsing history. Novel idea, apparently. 🎯

...since we are all speaking of documentaries now, did I tell you guys about that one time we drove around Iceland looking for Vivaldi users? Like legit knocking on doors and talking to people in parking lots. Would Chrome's marketing team do this? Yeah, I didn't think so either. 😌

💡How we come up with new features: 1. The idea often comes from a user 2. We get together & discuss how to implement it 3. Then the worst part comes, where we need to convince our shareholders of the value of the feat....wait, we are employee-owned, so if we want to do something, we just do it 😎🤘

Chrome: "We added AI to summarize articles" Edge: "We added AI to write emails" Safari: "We added AI to generate images" Us: "We made tabs actually work" Everyone: "But... AI?" Us: "Unlimited drag-and-drop tiling" Everyone: "Have you considered…." Us: "It's live. Download now!"

First launch of the year, sticking to the roadmap ✅

If there is something Norwegians hate more than small talk, it’s when there's ice on the streets. 🧊

It’s our 11th anniversary today, so we went absolutely crazy. Happy Vivaldi Day! 🎉

More and more people are standing for themselves and moving away from corporations that only see users as data entry points and walking dollar signs. Looking for alternatives matters. Our choices shape the world we live in.

Sunday project! One of the best things we have is our community! Let's come together to teach newbies our favourite stuff. I'll start: THEMES!! So many Themeeees! More than 6500, made & shared by other users! 🥰 👉 themes.vivaldi.net 👈

If you've recently found out about us, what made you want to try Vivaldi? 🙂 - Lack of AI - European - Big Tech alternative - Features - Customization - Privacy

On Fridays, we eat waffles 🧇 🇳🇴

No one: Literally no one: Vivaldi employees during their lunch break:

🇪🇺 Here are some European alternatives to get away from Big Tech: Search 🇳🇱 Startpage - @startpage.com 🇫🇷 Qwant - @qwant.bsky.social 🇩🇪 Ecosia - @ecosiasearch.bsky.social VPN & Cloud Storage 🇨🇭 Proton - @proton.me 🇳🇴 OctoVPN 🇪🇪 Cryptee 🇳🇴 Jottacloud And we got you covered with a browser. ❤️

2016 vs 2026: what a decade of caring about your user base looks like 💫

Here's a crazy thought: AI-free software with built-in features that are available out of the box, and the only thing you need to do to get the latest improvements is...to update it. FOR FREE. 😱

Big Tech: huge boring impersonal HQ in the outskirts. Us: historic brick building by a frozen waterfall in the middle of Oslo. 💁

That feeling when your pinned tabs outlived your New Year’s resolutions this year 🧘

Happy New Year! Here's the world's easiest resolution: Switch to Vivaldi. Takes 30 seconds. Done. You're welcome. #EasiestResolution

What's a browser feature you didn't know you needed until you tried it? 🤔

Exploring the web should spark a few “how did I get here” moments. That is the good stuff.

Good way to start the year: ditch that Big Tech browser and come on over 🤝

Nothing dramatic today Just you, the web, and a browser that lets you do things your way Carry on 🏃

Wow, it's 2026. New year, new tabs to stack 🏃

2025 came with a lot of tabs. Thanks for browsing with Vivaldi. Happy New Year 😊

The week before Xmas, Jon and I sat down for a chat about what 2025 brought us. I used a new mic, which I won't use again! Audio and transcript: vivaldi.com/blog/for-a-b...
