Vivaldi
by Vivaldi · 🇳🇴 Norway
Vivaldi is a desktop and mobile browser developed in Oslo by a team including Opera's co-founder. It is unusually configurable — tab stacks, tiling, built-in mail and calendar — and the company funds itself through search and bookmark partnerships rather than by collecting user data. It runs on Chromium, so site compatibility matches Chrome.
A European alternative to Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge.
