How we stand up to giants

Five years after we launched our first technical preview, we share how we forged our way in an industry dominated by giants.

On this day, five years ago we went public with the first technical preview of Vivaldi browser.

The 2000s have been good to small companies. Despite Microsoft’s intimidating reign, there have been plenty of opportunities for newcomers.

But in the five years since we launched, that’s changed. Right now, the internet space is dominated by a handful of big companies. In addition to Microsoft, there’s Google and Apple (who own the platforms we compete on), as well as Amazon, and Facebook.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways for small companies to compete and stand up to big corporations.

Here’s a glimpse of how we do it.

I reviewed their blog and really like their approach ... especially their up-front business model. I'll be giving their browser a try soon!
