But despite these being the most popular browsers, that does not automatically mean that they are the best or the most interesting browsers for every user. About the Vivaldi browserįor surfing the web, that can be via a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone, most people will probably use the better known web browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

And there will be a Vivaldi mail client as well. But 2019 could be the year of the Vivaldi browser on our mobiles as well.

And that is not automatically bad, and in lots of situations very good, because it has brought technology and the internet closer to less tech savvy people. There was once a time when we had to consciously search for information on the internet through a web browser, but due to the increasing use of apps with dedicated functionality, people are not always aware that they are connected to the internet and actually extracting underlying information from the internet via the app. Most people on this planet are in one way or the other using the internet.
