@Tutanota@mastodon.social I like #ZenBrowser for desktop and #Waterfox on Android, and I keep #Vivaldi as a backup Chromium browser.

For a long time we have made our selves gradually more and more dependent on Big Tech. This applies when it comes to operating system, to browsers, to various services, to storage and now when it comes to AI.

More and more are realizing this was and is wrong.

You can take the first steps to be independent as a person or company. Obviously, given that you are here, you have already taken some steps. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Switch browser... to Vivaldi. :)
  2. Switch desktop OS. Personally I have switched to Linux. Currently running Kubuntu, Ubuntu and Zorin on different computers.
  3. Switch mail service. Proton and Fastmail are good services, but there are others. Choose one that allows use of a mail client.
  4. Switch calendar service. Most mail services also offer a calendar service.
  5. Switch office package. Personally I use LibreOffice.
  6. Switch Web conferencing software. Personally I use Whereby.
  7. Switch search. Startpage, Ecosia, Qwant and DDG are great alternatives.

There are a lot of other great choices. The point is to start taking those steps away from Big Tech and Silicon Valley.

RE: https://social.vivaldi.net/@brucelawson/117336112482208047 There is a choice for those that are fed up of Big Tech. There are great options out there. May I suggest you try @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net ? #Vivaldi #Browser #Technology #BigTech #Politics

There are clearly many reasons why people are switching to Vivaldi. Interestingly, my little survey shows that the top reasons have more to do with our values than particular features. The #1 reason (77%) is the fact that we do not have built in AI. #2 is that we do not build profiles on our users (67%). #3 is that we are made in Europe. #4 and #5 is that we do not build in Crypto currencies and the built in ad and tracker blocker. We will continue to listen to our users. We have chosen a different path to our competitors and we continue to try to do the right thing. Thank you for your support! #Vivaldi #Browser #Windows #Macos #Linux #Android #iOS #Technology #EU #Politics #Europa #AI

Ogólnie jestem zadowolony z #Vivaldi, bo nie usiłuje udawać czegoś czym nie jest. Ma dwie podstawowe wady, a mianowicie niewyłączalny tłumacz, którego jakość tłumaczeń oceniam na 3, oraz to, że co jakiś czas mi się krzaczy na iMacu i nie mogę zmieniać zakładek kliknięciem myszy, bo wariują. (to drugie to być może jakaś niekompatybilność, no ale występuje tylko w tej przeglądarce). Trochę mnie ciągnie w stronę #Firefoxa, ale nie ma szans, bo się z Mozillą pogniewałem, więc padło na testowanie Lobrewolf i Waterfox. Pierwszy odpada, bo jest zbyt restrykcyjny i nie działają mi usługi, których potrzebuję na co dzień, a w drugim niestety nie chcą mi działać usługi od G, których muszę używać do pracy :( Trochę szkoda, bo myślałem, że znów zrobię sobie dwa profile, domowy i pracowy, a wychodzi na to, że muszę zostać przy vivaldi, albo uruchomić dodatkowo #Chromium wyłącznie do pracy, choć to też będzie dość uciążliwe, bo klikanie na linki w innych narzędziach otwiera w domyślnej przeglądarce. Macie jeszcze jakieś pomysły (Brave odpada)? Edit: Na korzyść Waterfoxa jest jeszcze ilość różnych wbudowanych ustawień. #drogiblipie

More and more people are joining Vivaldi and there are many different reasons why. Which of these are important to you? I am allowing multiple choices as I know for many of you it is not about one thing. Some of this is thing that we do, but I know for may it is also about things we do not do, such as including AI or Crypto currencies. #Vivaldi #Browser #EU #Europa #Technology #AI #Politics #Windows #Macos #Linux #Mastodon #Fediverse

Utilisateur de #Firefox depuis que je possède un ordinateur, j'étais mécontent de leur complaisance face à l'IA, leur retour sur X était la cerise sur le gâteau. Pour cette raison, j'ai cherché à changer de navigateur. J'utilise #Vivaldi depuis quelques mois. Vivaldi est topissime, mais une base Chromium, et aucune volonté d'aller à contre-courant des décisions de Google, concernant Manifest V2 notamment. J'hésite encore, du coup et j'aimerais avoir votre avis.

Weird behaviour time. There's no spellcheck in my Vivaldi browser on my laptop, there is on the Vivaldi on desktop - and supposedly they're in sync. But I can't find any spellcheck on or off choice in the settings? Anyway, if you see odd spelling or typos on my posts in the afternoon or evening, that'll be why. #vivaldi
