    Vivaldi is an european employee owned cooperative from Norway

    This is blatantly and easily verifiably false - Jon von Tetzchner owns 81% of the company via Vivaldi Invest AS

    I just hope you’re genuinely uninformed and aren’t intentionally misleading people but this makes me mistrust everything you’ve written.

      Yes, and look who are the owners of the shares of Vivaldi Invest, formed by Jon von Tetzchner with his own money, al the revenue is shared between the employees, as shareholders, corresponding to their tasks and participation, see the complete list of the employees in this page, all with their participation in the Vivaldi Investment font, this 81% is Jon von Tetzchners own money used to found the company, and used to finance the Vivaldi project. He is the founder, but Vivaldi is a cooperative and owned by it’s employees with their shares and revenues of it. nothing wrong with it.
