Vivaldi has announced the integration of Proton VPN directly into its browser without requiring add-on downloads or plugin activations, allowing users to protect their data against 'Big Tech' surveillance for free. Vivaldi says it partnered with Proton VPN because the Swiss company is a non-profit organization, free of political dependencies, and has proven its integrity time and time again. Users of the Vivaldi browser must upgrade to the latest version and create a Vivaldi account to activate Proton VPN. Users who wish to enjoy all of Proton VPN's features can upgrade to a paid plan to unlock faster speeds, extensive server selection, and support for additional devices. Clicking this button will open up the ProtonVPN interface, where you will be prompted to log in to Proton using your Vivaldi account.

Purchasing a full subscription to ProtonVPN will not only provide extra features in the browser but also allow you to install the full desktop application to protect all applications running on your computer. With Vivaldi being based in Norway, the partnership takes on a European angle, aimed at challenging U.S. tech giants dominance on the web. By default, the Proton VPN integration is free without time or bandwidth limits, ads, or trackers.
