My experience is that the summary is wrong or not accurate more often that not and clearly not the best answer. I have learned that trusting it for even the most basic of answers, such as which terminal a flight leaves from, to not be trustworthy.

@jnk@masto.es , we do not have much of a choice. We aim to support our users wherever they are. Thus we support all major platforms today.

We will have to see how things pan out. I do believe regulators play an important role. They do make a difference.

We can also make a difference. All of us. Public opinion matters.

@JoeBecomeTheSun@vivaldi.net , I think most would expect that if there is a framed answer, that it would be the best one...

@Mossheart@lemmy.ca

Glad to hear that. Thanks for your support.

Have you tried looking at the Windows panel? You can sort tabs there. The search there is pretty helpful as well.

We continue to work on the ad blocker. It will continue to improve.

@rspfau@ecoevo.social , a poll is actually for the purpose of asking people what they think. That is what I am interested in.

I do think AI has made results a lot worse. Partially because of the summaries and partially because there is a lot of AI generated content early in the results. I am finding it harder to find stuff I am looking for, that I know is there.

@rspfau@ecoevo.social , I guess both. I have really bad experiences with the summaries myself.

@rspfau@ecoevo.social , I think it is hard to do really. Unless you can recognize AI and other SEO generated stuff. If there is more of that, the results are, IMHO, objectively worse. Most of the time one is not interested in AI stuff, but rather information from the source. Anything else is, objectively, worse.

@AndreasSebayang@chaos.social , for me, the most visible parts when it comes to AI is the box at the top, where some answer is selected to be the best answer. This often gives a bad or inaccurate answer.

In addition to that are actual search results, that are AI generated. Often I will have to go down the list of search results to find what I was looking for. The AI generated results are pushing what I am looking for down on the list. Part of the issue is also that search engines are giving regency a big priority, which means that more static content will just disappear.

@wiredfire@mstdn.social , no, I do not think so. I think there is a lot of search engines out there and it is a lot of work to build one.

@BJ@xn--lofll-1sat.is

There is a longer answer to that, but I would think that getting what you are looking for would be that.

I remember the time when Google entered the search market. At the time, some of the leading search engines listed results based on who paid most. Google changed that, but we are in some ways back to where we started?

@louiskhor@vivaldi.net , we are as a small company competing with some of the largest in the world: Microsoft, Google and Apple. I wish I could say one of them was always doing the right thing. I cannot. It has been frustrating.

It is not easy. We make our software available on their platforms and we need them to play fair. They do not.

Our goal is to build great software for our users and supporting services as well. That is really what we can do and we hope to win over a lot of users doing just that.

@sharan@metalhead.club , yes, we have deals with these search engines, Startpage, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Qwant and Yahoo. If you use them as default in Vivaldi, that will generate revenue for us.

@FearlessJuan@vivaldi.net , yes we no longer have a deal with Bing.

@ilpalazzo@vivaldi.net , thank you for your kind words and support.

Have you tried looking for a theme? Pretty sure you can find one with the look you want!

@sajalghosh@vivaldi.net , thank you for your kind words. What do you mean by TTS?

@cynical13@vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net

I guess that would be an option for the future. I kind of like having more of them as it does not require me to wait.

@cassolotl@eldritch.cafe

Have your tried tab stacks and workspaces in Vivaldi?

@rspfau@ecoevo.social , we all evaluate based on our own experience. You may or may not agree with what other people are seeing, but that is what they are seeing.

In my case, I have been on the Internet since the start of the Web and IMHO there has been a clear change.

@nitot@framapiaf.org

Thanks.

@heymarkreeves@mstdn.social

There is only room for that many choices, which is why I included other as well.
