Vivaldi

Wait for the Brave browsers.

Oh, I thought you wanted to talk about Antonio. 😔 I wanted to use the Stravinsky quote “Vivaldi didn’t write 500 concertos. He wrote the same concerto 500 times.”

[Savage Beast]

LOL!

[Afterguard]

He wrote some great music. I don’t think he ever dabbled in browsers

[DiogenesLamp]

Does anyone know anything about Vivaldi?

Yes. His music is great!

Chromebook? Google is going to have all of your information/history/activity anyway. Might was well use their browser. No privacy expectations if it touches Google.

If you want some semblance of privacy, you have to either go with Linux or pay the Apple tax (Apple will capture your data as well, but is less likely to misuse it.)

I’ve used it and it has really great features for working with tabs like being able to tile tabs instead of tiling browser windows. Handy feature. Haven’t used it in a few years but I liked it when I used it.

[Lurker]

I really like the Four Seasons. Excellent piece of music

Well… I am officially old. “Oh..a Vivaldi thread…interesting! Wait…what?”

[Campion]

It’s a mozilla fork. I used to use it a few years back. It’s okay. May choke on some more modern websites.

[Sirius Lee]

Same. I was expecting “L’estro Armonico”. Bitter let down.

This won't help you, but one of the ways Bach learned how to write music was by getting the scores of Vivaldi concerti, then transcribing them for organ note by note so he could see how Vivaldi put the music together, then play it on the organ so he could hear how it sounded.

When I taught on campus many moons ago, I had a CD of some Bach transcriptions of Vivaldi, and sometimes when I felt particularly impish I would drive into the campus parking lot, windows down like the students, blasting music like the students, but it being organ transcriptions of Vivaldi, unlike the students.

[No!]

I stick with Brave...

Vivaldi was obsoleted and had to be revived in the late 19th century.

[absalom01]

Stick with Brave.

Vivaldi was a clergyman who lived in Venice when it was an independent state with an empire. Because it was a seafaring town with a lot of sailors passing through impregnating the local women, a lot of orphan children needed to be looked after.

Vivaldi organized them into choruses and orchestras as part of their education. He wrote awesome music for them to perform. The Four Seasons is probably his most famous work.

He was a 17th century Italian priest and composer of baroque music and music teacher at a middle school. His most known composition is that of “The Four Seasons”. It goes well on rainy days with a good chianti, hot girl, and spaghetti.

I would tend towards Firefox. It is Open Source, but is NOT based on Google’s open source Chromium code, which underlies Chrome (of course), Brave, Edge, and many others.

Take a look at “https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/chromebook/“.

P.S. Chromium per se has lots of tie-in to Google, although I presume Brave and Edge removed a lot of that.

Opera is another privacy focused browser and has it’s own built in VPN.
