Vivaldi integrates Proton VPN into the browser to fight web tracking

Vivaldi announced a built-in integration of Proton VPN within its browser, enabling free, encrypted, in-browser VPN connections via a new toolbar button tied to a Vivaldi account. The partnership emphasizes a European alternative to Big Tech and notes that while the free tier lacks time or bandwidth limits, it has speed and server restrictions, and the protection only covers Vivaldi browser traffic; full-device coverage requires Proton’s desktop app.
