Vivaldi integrates Mastodon into its desktop browser
into the sidebar of its desktop browser, giving users an easy way to view posts from the accounts they follow.
The Twitter alternative bears similarities to Musk's social network and gives users a way to make short posts. Unlike Twitter, which a single entity runs, Mastodon is a decentralized service that runs on an open-source protocol. Users can create and run their own servers or"instances" that other people can join, and Vivaldi Social is just one of them.
With the browser's latest update, its users can now find Vivaldi Social in the sidebar, though they can also add any Mastodon instance they want. When they access an instance from the panel, it pops up and is displayed on the side to create a split-screen view. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
