Its a cliché that “data is the new oil” that will power the next industrial revolution. Where does the data that powers Artificial Intelligence come from? And if data is the fuel for AI, what is the product?

Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human

Comment on Vivaldi is now on the Astro Slide 5G phone by pekli

It looks nice. I’ll have to wait a while, though, since the price is a little higher than I’d go at the moment.

Comment on Community Poll: Do you schedule browser themes? by jamesbeardmore

I agree, I would expect most people to be either a “light theme” or a “dark theme” person. I personally use dark theme all the time. Occasionally, for nostalgic reasons, I might use a lighter one, and try to make Vivaldi look like vintage non-evil Opera, but I’ll very soon change it back. By and large it’s dark theme whatever the time of day. I still wouldn’t get rid of the feature though. I’d imagine it’s pretty cool to sync the browser theme to your hue lighting or whatever.

But generally, once you get a program “how you like it”, you don’t really want to keep changing it. Over in the Gecko/Quantum world, I’ve been using the same Firefox persona continuously since version 4 (Fall Foggy Forest by Madonna, if anyone’s interested).

Comment on Community Poll: Do you schedule browser themes? by thecultleader666

I feel that most people are either solidly a dark theme person, or solidly a light theme person, and not many people enjoy both. I myself, while I like the idea of scheduled themes, couldn’t stand to burn my eyes out with a light(ish) theme for most of the day.

Comment on Community Poll: How long do you save your browsing history for? by henriett

I’ll allow myself to repost here my message on the other topic :

In my opinion, the 2 problems with “Delete browsing history in Vivaldi” are :
1) When you use the Session only option in the Settings, it will correctly purge the history but it will NOT purge the closed tab list. I suppose it’s the same for the other options.
2) The first problem would be minimal except for this second one : The Clear browsing data tool can only purge the closed tab list with a 50% success rate (rough estimation).

The Private window is not a relevant solution. One could want to beneficiate from all the history and closed tab options inside a specific session AND not want his data to migrate to another one when opening the browser again (that is the way I use Vivaldi).

I rarely use it. I never clear it, but I don’t actually save it either.

Comment on Community poll: Do you use Mouse Gestures? by joeduffus

Yes! By far the most common one is the drag-left to go back a page. I also will use drag-right (forward) and drag-down (new tab) occasionally.
