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.
All donors who are logged in to their Vivaldi account when making a donation will receive a badge, which will be displayed next to the avatar in the browser and on Vivaldi’s websites.
Supporter – one-time donation.
Patron – recurring donation.
Advocate – long-term donor.
