Vivaldi Browser Integrates Proton VPN for Free Desktop Privacy

The partnership offers users a no-cost VPN option, enhancing privacy and challenging Big Tech's data-driven dominance.

  • Vivaldi Technologies has partnered with Proton AG to integrate Proton VPN's free version into its desktop browser, now available to users.
  • The integration provides medium-speed VPN access to servers in three countries: Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States.
  • Users must log in with a Vivaldi or Proton account to access the VPN feature, which complements Vivaldi's existing privacy tools like an ad blocker and private search options.
  • Proton VPN's no-logs policy, independent audits, and open-source nature underscore its commitment to transparency and security.
  • This collaboration emphasizes a European-led alternative to US Big Tech, focusing on ethical standards and user privacy as fundamental rights.
