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…

i do not trust proton to not share data with the us government considering how chummy the ceo is with trump and the republican party.
proton is just another big tech cryptofash broligarchy company and its shameful vivaldi is getting in bed with them

Y’all are blowing this way the fuck out of proportion.
Proton AG is not based in the US, and they’ve already shown that they have no access to any encrypted data multiple times.
Proton AG is owned by the Proton Foundation, not Andy Yen. Andy is only 1 out of 5 people on that board. He does not have full control, and has only expressed his opinion on a single person that Trump picked. That’s it.
FFS, get your facts straight.

You should not trust any company to stand up against court orders.
I like when companies openly show what data they do provide, all of the good vpns do.
