Our partner, Vivaldi, has a browser that is powerful, flexible, serious about privacy — and now supports email built into your browser.


Making intentional choices about the tools and services you use across the entire internet is essential. We know that people choose Fastmail for our privacy-first approach and values. Email is a core part of how you interact with the online world, so we are thrilled to introduce you to another privacy-centered, independent provider who’s in line with our values.

Vivaldi: a trusted browser with more

We’re pleased to introduce our partner, Vivaldi.

We respect Vivaldi’s independence, commitment to privacy with their zero tracking approach, and the power and flexibility their browser brings to let you work the way you want to. They naturally fit with our own values. And, with the latest Vivaldi 4.0, you can read your email using Vivaldi’s mail client right in the browser!

Choose privacy-first options

There are many reasons to take the time to consider the best providers for you. Perhaps you want to:

  • De-google your life by moving away from products like Chrome;
  • Diversify your digital footprint so one provider doesn’t know too much about you;
  • Minimise the amount of data ending up in the hands of advertising-driven companies;
  • Use companies who are experts in their field, who do one thing and do it well.

While email contains a lot of sensitive, personal information, our web browsing habits are also full of insights about who we are and what we do.

About our partnership

Vivaldi and Fastmail are driven by similar values:

  • You are our customer. We believe that we are here to fulfill your needs. We are in service to you, and not the other way around.
  • We are employee-owned with no split loyalties to external investors looking to cash out.
  • We are experts at what we do. Our companies focus on delivering high-quality products to our customers.
  • Privacy is at the heart of our products: it is not an afterthought or a light sheen of marketing gloss.

We’re excited!

Here’s what our team have to say about our team up with Vivaldi:
