I will try to explain what our servers provide in a bit more detail:

1. The Sync service. This allows you to synchronize data between your different devices. The data is encrypted using your sync encryption password, that we do not have access to.

2. Blogs. We offer a free blogging platform. We also have various Vivaldi blogs, snapshot blogs, etc.

3. Forums. For discussing Vivaldi and other topics.

4. Themes. We provide more than 10 000 themes, that our users have made, so you can customize the look of your browser.

5. Vivaldi Social. Our way of supporting the Fediverse and provide an easy way for people to join Mastodon.

6. Translation. To avoid using Big Tech translation services, we host our own translation service using technology from Lingvanex.

7. We also provide free services, such as mail and calendar, but only to very active users, due to misuse of the service.

So our website is just not a place to download Vivaldi, but a bit more. We consider our users our friends and our goal is to provide them with not only a great browser, but also some great services. We are also a company that prides itself in engaging with our users and we do that through our blogs, forums and Vivaldi Social.
