Isn't Vivaldi closed source?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Sort of? Their Chromium specific code is kept open, as per the parent license, but their Vivaldi specific stuff is, indeed, closed.

But that's why you can't Outfire the Fox. 🦊

I don't know how important this is to users of Vivaldi, and I don't know how good Vivaldi can make their blocker by middle of next year, but this may force me to Firefox. Or maybe someone makes a local proxy like in the old days to do ad blocking Idk.

Blocker is already good

PSA: Vivaldi is proprietary software

Mom: we have adblocker at home

Adblocker at home:

(silly kid thinking it is uBO tier adblocker)

The article is basically :
We have our own inferior adblockers so don't panic when UBO stops working.

optissima ,

The classic "we have uBlocker at home" to ad injection pipeline at it again.

sebinspace , to Technology in Vivaldi explains why they will not embed LLM functionality in their browser

LLMs are essentially confident-sounding lying machines with a penchant to occasionally disclose private data or plagiarise existing work. While they do this, they also use vast amounts of energy

Just described most people

SkyNTP ,

Coincidentally, also why I don't care much for most social media content.

And yet here you are

Yet another reason why I use Vivaldi over every other chromium fork.

sebinspace ,

Still a Chromium fork.

Didn't even think of it as a possibility. WTF would a browser need with LLM?

Edge is branding itself "The AI Browser". Chrome has plans to embed LLMs for text input. Opera, the browser which was commandeered from the original Vivaldi team and turned into a crypto/VPN gimmick browser, is of course among the hardest leaning into the LLM trend.

Ephera ,

Webpage authors use LLMs to generate extremely long articles, to make you scroll by ads for longer. You use LLMs in your browser to summarize those articles. The circle of life, or something.

I stumbled upon a website through DDG, and after a long intro, the main section supposedly where the thing I was searching for had "Sorry I can't fulfill your request right now". Basically a fully generated page to match my search with some parasitic seo tactics. The web be chaging. Front page of DDG.

Reminds me of the amazon products titled: “I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy,”.

I think we’re way beyond the point of no return. The internet has been ruined for good.
