Vivaldi
Vivaldi is a browser made in Norway: an independent, employee-owned company based in Norway and Iceland, founded by Opera's co-founder and funded by search partnerships rather than advertising or user data. In the company's own words, "We're an independent browser company based in Norway and Iceland."
Ownership & control
VerifiedControlled from an EFTA country
Control sits in Norway, so efta-owned stands. The Brønnøysund register holds no shareholder data; the Norwegian shareholder listing reproduced at proff.no/aksjonaerer/-/vivaldi-technologies-as/912309975 shows 81.276% held by VIVALDI INVEST AS, a Norwegian company, with the remaining shares spread across named individuals — consistent with Norwegian control, though it makes "owned by its employees" a loose description. No Chinese or other non-EEA shareholder was found in that listing, on the register, on Wikipedia or in press searches.
