- cywick 5y agoThat's actually incorrect: Vivaldi generates revenue from partner deals with search engines. Every time you search using one of the pre-installed search engines, you’re helping us grow, one search at a time. Currently, we work with DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Startpage, Yahoo!, Bing, and Yandex.
