Vivaldi browser makes an official statement against adding AI functionality to their browser
Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of…
Good guy Vivaldi.
A recent study by PewResearch found users clicked traditional results roughly half as often when AI summaries appeared. Publishers warn of dramatic traffic losses when AI overviews sit above links.
This is a major point that can't be understated.
And it's pretty ironic how a company like Google tells users they can't circumvent anything that prevents them from generating revenue, and yet that's exactly what they're doing to websites when they divert traffic away from those sites using their own little AI summary bullshit.
Perfect timing for THIS.

Oh, hey!
I'm glad to say that Vivaldi is my go-to on my PC.
I'm sad to say that I still use Edge on my laptop, because Vivaldi just refuses to implement Precision Touchpad gestures support. You know, two-finger swipe right for "Back", etc. Drives me nuts. :/
Fuck yeah, Vivaldi!
Vivaldi is my favorite non-FOSS browser and has been for some time. I still prefer a good FOSS browser for everyday use, but if a site won't load, I try Vivaldi next. It's highly customizable and supports side tabs easily and it's even a surfaced option during the initial setup!
