But, I dont need it. Can I turn it off?

Of course

[kswede]

Didn't see this coming. This is great news!

[fabiwan]

You are the best !

Heavy contender Versus other Browsers for real now!

@Maikazi
Hi, it is not ON by default, remove the extension if you used the button already, remove the button with right click > Remove.

How do we remove this? I do not want any Proton products anywhere near my devices.

Edit: it does not appear as an extension, so cannot be removed in the normal extension way.

@mib2berlin Thanks!

@mtaki14 Could you add a trigger to close it, similar to the mail and calendar features? The VPN feature suddenly appeared in my toolbar, which is weird.

Is this just extension built in, or there is something more with this integration? Seems like a good collaboration anyway, just wanted to know how "deep" is the integration.

[0x49D1]

@groovehead: just don't use it: right click on VPN icon and remove it from toolbar. It seems that this one is just a collaboration between products, no integration, just custom icon for the extension.

Wait, what?

Checks date

Oh, cool

[groovehead]

@0x49D1 It does not appear in the extension list, so I suspect 'removing' the button does not actually remove the underlying code.

[mtaki14]

@0x49d1: You can login with your Vivaldi account, but otherwise it's just the extension afaik

[mathieulefrancois]

I'm already a Proton customer so having it built in is handy!

@jon Changelog missing in blog article.

[mtaki14]

@groovehead: I believe the extension only gets installed when you set up the vpn for the first time

[3dvs]

@TbGbe yeah, just 9 days, surprising isn't it?

Tip: The VPN feature is just an extension. If you don't need it, you can delete it.

This is another big milestone for the Vivaldi team.
I'm very excited about how the Vivaldi browser continues to develop. I'm very proud to be part of the Vivaldi community.
