Switching from
Google Chrome Firefox Microsoft Edge Safari

Your web browser is the app you use most. It sees every site you visit. Most popular browsers are built by US companies that also sell advertising. Vivaldi is different. It is made in Norway, does not track what you do, and lets you shape the browser to fit how you work. Switching is easy, and it can bring your bookmarks and passwords across for you.
