Vivaldi is a freeware web browser developed by Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by former co-founder and CEO of Opera, Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner.[2] Based on the slogan "A new browser for our friends",[3] the browser is aimed at hardcore technologists, heavy internet users, and previous Opera browser users who were disgruntled by Opera's transition from the Presto engine to Blink (which removed many popular features).[2]

History

Vivaldi began as a virtual community site that replaced My Opera, which was shut down by Opera in March, 2014.[4] Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner was angered by this decision because he believed that this community helped make the Opera browser what it was.

On January 27, 2015, Vivaldi launched the first technical preview of their lightweight, community-focused browser with the intention of attracting Opera users who are unhappy with the current state and future direction of the Opera browser.
