To celebrate the release of Vivaldi 2.0, we publish several stories of Vivaldi users who talk about how Vivaldi has impacted the world of browsers, and their lives.

I am Luca and I come from Italy. I work as a Windows SysAdmin. I really love Vivaldi since the first version. Not only love but also use since then. Whenever I can, I try to speak with my mates and colleagues on how fascinating and simple it is to use this browser.

I am Cédric and I am a teacher. I used to teach at a college in France, now I teach in the UK. I found Vivaldi because I was looking for a browser that was Europe based – privacy concerns and all that, not that I have anything to hide. Just the principle. Maybe it is a European thing but I’m sure the world over too.

I am Darío and probably the most “unique” characteristic about me is that I’m a citizen of the Dominican Republic. I bet you know where this is, you are a bunch of clever geeks!

My name is Julien, and I live in France in a town called Nice, on the French Riviera. I used Opera browser for a bit, and then I searched on the internet for an alternative and found Vivaldi. I tried it and was happy with it.

I came across Vivaldi around Summer of 2016.  A group of my buds and I were chatting in our Gaming Slack group and one of them mentioned they just downloaded Vivaldi because of the programmable features and mouse gestures.

Matúš works full time, studies and translates Vivaldi into Slovak. He’s also a Vivaldi Soprano and a forum moderator.

On International Women’s Day, we catch up with Gwen-Dragon, Vivaldi’s Soprano tester, active moderator and top poster on the forum. Sounds impressive? Read on.

Do you love these three? Then we have something interesting brewing with this combination. Watch, read, enjoy!

We continue with our stories presenting some of the most engaged members of Vivaldi’s community. Wanna find out who’s behind the “g_bartsch” avatar?
