If Opera had continued to work on Presto, it would have added more functionality over time. Sadly they killed it, but that is also why you have Vivaldi, so IMHO that is a good thing. :)
There is a reason why we include Wikipedia as well. It is good for many things. So is adding vertical search engines, which is easy to do in Vivaldi. You can then access them all quickly through the search engine shortcuts.
It is possible to do multiple things at the same time. Particularly when the actual work on the games is done by Porcelain Fortress. I engaged with them a fair bit, because I enjoy their games, but Vivaldi programmers did not, except for playing the games them selves.
We continue to improve the Vivaldi ad blocker and we continue improving all other elements of Vivaldi. We love doing that, but personally I also enjoy those games a lot.
@TyrionTargaryen@vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net , you can, of course, use command chains. That means you can make custom mouse gestures, that perform custom command chains. Pretty powerful stuff this.
@louiskhor@vivaldi.net , we are as a small company competing with some of the largest in the world: Microsoft, Google and Apple. I wish I could say one of them was always doing the right thing. I cannot. It has been frustrating.
It is not easy. We make our software available on their platforms and we need them to play fair. They do not.
Our goal is to build great software for our users and supporting services as well. That is really what we can do and we hope to win over a lot of users doing just that.
The browser ballot is not there on Windows anymore. It was there years ago in Europe.
There was a time where you could install a browser and the browser would ask you if it should be set as default. If you said yes, it would be default. No further steps were needed. It could also be placed in the dock easily, for easy access.
Microsoft has gradually made all of those steps harder... except for them selves. They are set as default when you get the computer and many of us have experienced a Windows update that more or less without asking makes Edge default again.

I guess that would be an option for the future. I kind of like having more of them as it does not require me to wait.

Presto was great, but sadly Opera killed it after I left.

My team only made Opera until Opera 12.
@UserMicha@vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
Not a bubble, just a nice place. We must invite more people to join us.
@heymarkreeves@mstdn.social
There is only room for that many choices, which is why I included other as well.
@mischiefist@vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
I am not familar with it.
@albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
You can add that as well. You have to add it manually, but I tested it and it works well.

Enjoy!
@albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz
Thank you for your kind words.
We have a built in ad and tracker blocker and we work with extensions as well.

If you want to read more about Porcelain Fortress, that made the games for us, you can read about them here. They have made some great games!

Had a quick game. Can you beat my score?

@fluchtkapsel@nerdculture.de @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net
Those kind of gestures tend to be more system related. Please file a bug and we will look into it.
@preferred @Vivaldi
Indeed. I implemented MDI tabs in Opera 1.0 30 years ago. Mouse gestures were added years later.
Mouse gestures in Vivaldi are a lot more powerful, though. You can easily make your own and have them to just about anything.
@jnk@masto.es , we do not have much of a choice. We aim to support our users wherever they are. Thus we support all major platforms today.
We will have to see how things pan out. I do believe regulators play an important role. They do make a difference.
We can also make a difference. All of us. Public opinion matters.
