Summary: Vivaldi has integrated Proton VPN directly into its browser, enhancing user privacy by masking IP addresses and encrypting browsing activity. This partnership aims to provide a European alternative to major tech companies’ data practices, ensuring users can browse without fear of surveillance. The integration is free, but users should note that it only protects browser traffic, not other network applications.
Affected: Vivaldi Browser
Keypoints :
- Proton VPN is now built into the Vivaldi browser, eliminating the need for separate downloads or plugins.
- The VPN integration offers users free and unlimited access, though with speed and server selection restrictions.
- It only protects traffic within the browser, so users needing full device coverage should consider a paid Proton VPN subscription.
