How does Vivaldi aim to monetise this? Why is it free with no strings attached? Plenty of other questions that need to be answered.

- nvrspyx 7y agoI have no affiliation with Vivaldi, but they don't receive any revenue from webmail and I don't think they plan to. Vivaldi monetizes the browser. Specifically, they receive money from search engine providers by including them in the browser by default, like DDG, Bing, Ecosia, etc. (except Google; they don't receive any money from Google, but include it anyway due to popularity). They also receive money from the default bookmarks/favorites that are included in a fresh install, like eBay, Amazon, Kayak, etc. https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-business-model/ https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-business-model/
