One of the special functions we have in @Vivaldi is single key keyboard shortcuts. Off by default, this allows you to bind just about any key to a function. My personal favorites are Z and X for going back and forth in history and 9 and 0 to zoom.

Why we have it? It is all about speed of operation and accessibility.

We had this in Opera as well. I think I even implemented the first version myself.

We got great feedback from users that used this extensively, including users using this for accessibility.

In April 1994 I started working on the Opera browser with Geir Iversøy, my co-founder. I worked at Opera for 17 years, leaving it after disagreeing with investors about the way forward. Two years later I co-founded @Vivaldi with Tatsuki Tomita and Anne Stavnes. This was in 2013.

For more than 30 years we have provided alternatives to Big Tech. First with Opera and now with Vivaldi. The focus has always been quite different from our competitors. More features, more privacy, more flexibility. Lately it has also meant the choice to avoid things like Crypto and Blockchain, avoid integrating AI and avoid integrating surveillance. This is not given. Most of our competitors are building in one or more of the above.

If you like what we are doing and our stand, feel free to download Vivaldi. If you are already with us, please tell your friends.
