   So far this year we have seen nice growth in many European countries. We have doubled our userbase in Norway and Denmark, to name two.

   More and more are looking for alternatives to Big Tech and we are happy to provide that alternative when it comes to browsers. We also provide a mail client, calendar and RSS reader on Windows, Mac and Linux.

   If you have already switched to @Vivaldi, please invite your friends.

     You can add any Mastodon server as a Web panel. That works just fine. That is really how we integrated Vivaldi Social.

     I think the question of tabs is the same as for any feature really. We have the principle that we adapt to your needs. Thus we have the ability to have the tabs on the left, right, top or bottom or even hidden. Similarly we have 3 different tab stack methods and generally just a lot of settings. This comes at a cost, but we think that is how we should do things. Thus we adapt to your requirements and needs. The others just do not think that way.

     @jon Is there a way for me to configure the Vivaldi mastodon client to use a non-Vivaldi server?

     Why do you think the vertically-organized tabs is such a rare feature in web browsers? Was it especially hard to make for vivaldi? (It was a big selling point for me.)

     @tyil @Vivaldi

     Every browser out there uses a browser engine as base that they did not write them selves from scratch. The exception was Opera, when I was CEO there, but now they use Chromium as well.

     A browser is more than the engine. There is a lot of UI around it and that is what the user engages with. We also change the engine a lot, with more than 2000 files modified. We also add a mail client, calendar, feed reader and a lot more.

     @jon@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Isn't Vivaldi just #Chromium under the hood anyway?

     @jon @tyil@fedi.tyil.nl @Vivaldi "From scratch" seems to be doing all the heavy lifting, became Firefox absolutely isn't using somebody else's browser engine.
