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…

    Not really a big problem I don’t think but also:

    1. Why? Why not let your users decide?
    2. How much are they being paid for this?

      1. Agreed
      2. Well, if it’s the free tier option, then I guess not a lot…?

      I’m all for revenue income to support these tools - as long as I’m not the product - I just won’t be using this option.

        The free tier option exists for a reason. It’s basically free advertising.
