Jon S. von Tetzchner
I have been working with Web technologies since 1992. I have co-founded two browser companies, Opera Software and Vivaldi Technologies. I was CEO at Opera and I am CEO at Vivaldi.
I am a strong proponent of open standards. I believe in building feature rich products that can be adapted to the needs of users without collecting information about usage. I believe no company has the right to profile their users.

Indeed.

Yes, we are still funded in the same way as before. We have also opened up for people to donate.
@indutny@fosstodon.org @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
We have no external funding. Every employee owns shares in the company.

Unlike some of our competitors, Vivaldi is only started when you start it yourself.
We will continue to work on speeding things up as much as we can.

People have been asking, but we are not yet profitable, so you can support us financially in the following ways:
-
Use the search engines we provide, in particular Startpage, DDG, Ecosia and Qwant.
-
Use the included bookmarks and direct match.
-
Donate.
