Privacy Without Compromise: Proton VPN is Now Built Into Vivaldi | Vivaldi Browser
vivaldi.com
Vivaldi is now the first major browser to ship with Proton VPN built right in, giving uncompromising privacy from two of Europe’s most trusted tech companies.

Just found my Vivaldi update contained a little more than just bugfixes… it now has Proton VPN built in.

It’s actually part of the browser, not an extension, so I’m in two minds whether I like that… or not.

You need either a Vivaldi account or a Proton account, so it’s not completely anonymous, but it’s a start.

The free-tier of Proton VPN also appears to be bandwidth limited and your exit point is randomised, so… yeah, it’s ok…

    Thankfully I have been switching to Zen Browser just earlier this week :) I am very happy with the UI and ‘firefox backend’ (I get addons from here, not the highly censored google chrome webstore.)

      I think they had an issue with a back door needing to be patched, has that been done yet? It seems very sleek otherwise. I’m running librewolf though, so UX upgrade would visually be better for me if Zen does have that fixed

        AFAIK that was a telemetry issue that was fixed (but very poorly addressed.) last year. Then someone posted about it recently…

        I am using it BECAUSE of the vertical bar. So, I wouldn’t know.

        I have been using Sidebery in Firefox for ages now… and TreeStyleTabs before that. To me it’s natural to use the space in the side of the web, since I almost never scroll horizontally but instead need the vertical space…
