Microsoft Replacing Edge With New Chromium-based Browser
By Mayank Parmar

I am using Vivaldi for the following reasons:

1. Built-in zoom allows per-site zoom at values other than 110%,
125%, 150%...

2. Supports minimum font size settings.

3. Effective translation is available using Google's Google
Translate extension.

4. There are extensions for Naver LINE, Tideways and NordVPN.

5. Available for Linux and MS Windows.

6. Effective synchronization between supported platforms.

At the time of writing there is no Android version of Vivaldi but I
understand it is now a high priority for them. I use DuckDuckGo
browser for Android for the present.

If there is any other browser that can meet all 6 minimum requirements
please let me know...

I've not yet discovered how 'they' provide their services without charge
to you, the user. Can you explain/point me in the right direction?

I was delighted to find that they have a version for Apple computers.
I've downloaded it but not yet installed. I'll await your response
first! I'm always cautious with regard to products which are not
available through the Apple App Store!

"The business model is actually the same as in general for other
browsers. You make revenue from deals you do with the search engines,
for example. You pick and choose search engines that you put in there.
We just added Ecosia, as an example. So we have deals with these
companies and that generates some revenue for us.

Also, some of the bookmarks that we include generate revenues. It’s a
fairly known way and it’s a great way because we not only focus on
providing the best possible product for the end user. We then try to
choose the partners that our users would like, but still give them the
flexibility to do whatever they like.

The revenue – at Opera we were talking about a revenue of $1 per user
per year. So it’s not a lot of money, but as long as you get enough
users…"
