Donate to Vivaldi

This post is also available in: 日本語 Français Español Deutsch Српски Polski Български 简体中文

Though, Vivaldi is a commercial company, fighting the gatekeeping behemoths of the web comes with a cost. Our users often show interest in contributing to Vivaldi’s development. Some give their time and volunteer as translators, testers, moderators, and/or ambassadors. Others prefer to give a donation.

You can donate anonymously or show off a donator’s Badge of Appreciation that gets added to your profile picture on vivaldi.net and in the browser. The badge is given automatically to all logged-in users. Logged-out users can claim the badge at a later date via the donation confirmation email.

Supporter – one-time donation.

Patron – recurring donation.

Advocate – long-term donor.
