Proton VPN is now integrated into Vivaldi’s desktop browser to offer users enhanced privacy protections and all the VPN functionality they need without requiring any additional downloads or updates. Bringing together Proton VPN and Vivaldi provides a superior online experience, combining Proton’s best-in-class VPN with Vivaldi’s power, advanced customization, and uncompromising stance on user control.

How to Activate Proton VPN in Vivaldi

It couldn’t be simpler:
  1. Make sure you’re using the latest version of Vivaldi on desktop.
  2. Click the ”VPN” button in the toolbar.
  3. Log in or create a Vivaldi account.
  4. Flip the switch. That’s it. You’re protected.

In my opinion, additional third-party programs should not be added to the browser. From what I've noticed, using this VPN is equivalent to creating a Proton account, which we are not informed about. I also don't see any option to delete this account anywhere.

So, you want to use a service without creating an account? No reputable service in the world will allow this. If you don't want to use it, well, then don't use it. Don't create an account, and delete the button from your toolbar. And just to be clear, no program is being added to your system. It's simply a browser extension.

For me, logging in is not the same as creating an account, there is no information anywhere that we are creating an account with email, online storage, calendar, password manager, or whatever else is included.
And the best part at the end: we can't log into the account because we need a password that we don't have...
