Not only do we work at Viva, but we fight.

Fighting for better internet

Striving for a Better Internet Than We Have Now

We are committed to ending the dominance of tech giants over the Internet.

We fight to eliminate the relentless exploitation of the Internet and public discourse for corporate gain.

Once a realm of openness and innovation, the web has been transformed by tech giants into a walled garden, exploiting our data and monopolizing our digital lives for profit. We advocate for a web free from manipulation, where you control your experience, not algorithms.

Viva is designed to break these chains. With complete customization, privacy-focused features, and no compromises on your freedom, we level the playing field. We create Viva because we love the Internet, and that's why we fight to preserve it for everyone.

Internet for everyone

When Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the Internet, he envisioned it as an open, democratic space for everyone. There were no patents, no monopolies—just the freedom to share and create. But what do we see today? Massive corporations have transformed this open space into their private playground, restricting content, tracking every move, and locking us into their ecosystems.

The heyday of the internet of burglars

Once pioneering companies helped transform the Internet into a tool for billions. Today, many of these companies resemble industrial factories, extracting data and profit while poisoning the Internet with surveillance and opaque algorithms. Big tech has turned into monopolies, promoting their walled gardens while stifling competition. It's time to reclaim this freedom.

What is a better internet?

The Internet should be a space where technology empowers us, not exploits us. However, today's Internet is dominated by a few monopolies making decisions for billions. We believe that the best Internet is one where users, not corporations, hold the reins. An Internet that is safe, open, and accessible, where you can choose your tools, your experience, and your future.

How Viva fights back

At Viva, we are crafting a browser that empowers you. We stand against the surveillance-based model of Big Tech. Collaborating with regulators and advocates worldwide, we continue to push boundaries. We are actively developing tools to help you fight back, whether through our built-in tracking and ad blockers or the ability to customize every aspect of your browser.

Algorithms are not your friends

Have you ever wondered why your social media news feed keeps showing you the same content? Or why ads for something you searched for days ago still follow you around the Internet? These are algorithms at work, keeping you engaged (or enraged) while feeding on your data. Viva takes a different approach. Our news client is algorithm-free, giving you control over what you see.

Built on human intelligence

We don't believe that AI should be omnipresent, especially when it uses your data without consent or engages in plagiarism, polluting the web with misinformation. Large language models may appear impressive, but they come at a high cost, consuming vast amounts of energy and water, while compromising privacy and accuracy. At Viva, we focus on tools that genuinely assist without exploiting your data or turning you into a product.

Giving you control

We believe your browser should adapt to you, not the other way around. Want your tabs on the side? Go ahead. Need separate workspaces for different projects? Done. Viva lets you fine-tune every aspect to ensure your browsing experience is exactly how you want it.

Fraudulent advertising is bad

Not all advertising is bad, but surveillance-based advertising certainly is. We believe that creators should be compensated without tracking and spying on you online. Viva's built-in tracker blocker uses customizable lists of known tracker URLs to prevent online surveillance and the use of your personal data for profiling. It's integrated, so it doesn't rely on extension architecture. However, the entire ecosystem needs reform, which is why Viva supports regulations to prevent intrusive profiling.

Belongs to employees, created for users

Viva is owned by its employees, free from external investors pulling the strings. This means we make decisions that best serve you, not shareholder profits. We develop a browser by listening to our users, aiming to create a free, powerful, and unique web browser.

Join the fight!

The Internet should remain free, open, and accessible to everyone. At Viva, we strive to ensure it stays that way. However, we can't do it alone. By choosing Viva, you're not just selecting a browser; you're joining the fight for a better Internet. It's time to reclaim the Internet, one tab at a time.
