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…

          The article goes much deeper than the mere settings of the browser and points directly at stark duplicity and the extremist nature of the founder. There are much better options for those that don’t care to support a proven liar and bigot.

      Very constructive comment. There is no perfect browser, dude, but I wouldn’t call Vivaldi garbage. They are really trying to make a difference with the technology at hand. I mean, it is kind of hard to make a browser from scratch.
