Jon von Tetzchner

Jon von Tetzchner, Vivaldi Technologies CEO returns to TechCentral for a fascinating discussion on the world of web browsers.

Vivaldi released version 3.0 of its desktop browser this week, while its Android version was released from beta.
In the podcast, Von Tetzchner, co-founder of the Norwegian Opera Software, talks about:

  • How Vivaldi is coping with Covid-19’s global restrictions and blockades.
  • Vivaldi’s origins and why you think it offers a compelling alternative to browsers from tech giants like Google, Microsoft and Apple.
  • Vivaldi’s business model and why it won’t charge users for its software.
  • What’s new in the desktop and Android versions of Vivaldi, including a tracker blocker and an ad blocker.
  • The impact of ad blockers and tracker editors on editors and journalism and why they are disabled by default in Vivaldi.
  • Why a new funding model for online journalism is needed.
  • Why Big Tech needs to control regulation to ensure user privacy.
  • If an iOS version of the software is in process, it is, but it’s not that simple.

It’s a great discussion, don’t miss it!
