Vivaldi takes the Big Tech detox to school and work – Releasing Vivaldi Enterprise

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Leaving Big Tech usually sounds like settling for less. Vivaldi thinks it should be a step up. This morning at Web Summit, Jon von Tetzchner launches Vivaldi Enterprise, a European browser that organisations can roll out to every desk, built entirely around the people who use it. See the full press release below:

Web Summit – LISBON – 12 November 2026.

Every organisation runs a browser. Today at Web Summit, Vivaldi, the independent, employee-owned browser company from Norway, gives them one built entirely around the people who use it. With Vivaldi Enterprise, organisations of any size can roll out and centrally manage Vivaldi on Windows, macOS and Linux, using the tools their IT teams already have.

The browser is where the detox begins

The launch lands in the middle of a Big Tech detox, and digital sovereignty is driving it. Governments, schools and companies across Europe are asking who controls the software their daily work runs on, and whose rules apply to their data. That question has moved out of policy papers and into procurement decisions.

Vivaldi gives organisations a clear answer. It is a European company, owned by its employees, with no external investors and no business built on data collection. Organisations that choose Vivaldi know exactly who they are dealing with.

The browser is the natural first step. It’s the one tool everyone in an organisation uses, and changing it touches nothing else. Vivaldi Enterprise slots into the device management IT already runs, works with the web apps people already depend on, and lets people keep browsing the web with a browser that works for them, instead of Big Tech.

„I’ve spent 30 years building browsers for the people who use them. Today, most people spend their working day in a browser they need to adapt. Vivaldi flips that around and gives them a browser that adapts to them. With Vivaldi Enterprise, schools, businesses and governments can step away from Big Tech and give their people a more powerful browser that respects them. Choosing an alternative to Big Tech isn’t a step down, it’s a step up“ – Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder and CEO of Vivaldi.

A step away from Big Tech – a giant leap for independence

Vivaldi Enterprise gives IT teams control without taking privacy away from the people they support:

• No tracking, no profiling. Vivaldi doesn’t collect data on what people do online. Its business doesn’t depend on it.
• Keep your tools, swap your browser. There is no new console to learn. Administrators set policies, lock settings and roll out Vivaldi with the device management tools they already use, on Windows, macOS and Linux.
• Same browser, same day. Organisations get the same Vivaldi as everyone else, with every update on the day it ships. There is no separate, slower enterprise edition.
• No licence fee. Vivaldi Enterprise costs nothing to licence. Organisations that want dedicated support get a package built around their needs.
• No AI deciding what people see. Vivaldi doesn’t build AI chatbots or agents into the browser. People reach the web directly. Organisations choose the tools, and people choose how they work with them.

Availability

Vivaldi Enterprise is available today on Windows, macOS and Linux.
