Privacy Without Compromise: Proton VPN is Now Built Into Vivaldi
-
@doctorg: Almost but not quite. [Left] clicking on the button would install it even if you did not complete setup.
-
This is a massive W. My favourite browser and VPN teaming up! Congrats on the partnership
-
@0x49d1: Yes it is the extention from the store (and hence gets all updates) but it detects when it is running under Vivaldi adjusts slightly, e.g. allowing our users to login with their Vivaldi account and not needing to use a Proton account. That said, it you have a Proton account already or would prefer use a Proton login for any other reason, that is still possible. You choose.

@doctorg: No because there is only one change… Proton and that is mentioned throughout the article. Consider the headline of this article to be your changelog

I have the setting Check on Startup
I always had it on for testing current Stables.
When disabling the check the button does not come up. -
@0x49d1: It is free VPN service allowing you to login with an account that Vivaldi users already have. It was also one of our most requested features. So yeah… big milestone.
-
@kocho: You will get it soon.
-
After selecting "Login with Vivaldi", Proton VPN is using my Yahoo email that was created through my ISP, not my Vivaldi email.
I'm not able to select a country other than the U.S. without being taken to their Upgrade page.
Is that the way it should work?
If not, what should I do? -
@AllanH The nearest VPN server is used.
You can not select others without paid upgrade of Proton VPN.
I think it is intended for a free gift
by Vivaldi. -
@pgaa: Well if you are at a virtual location outside of Norway, e.g. Amsterdam then of course the geoblocking that many media sites implement will indeed prevent you. However if you upgrade to a paid account you can pick your location and you could pick Norway.
As for things like TV2 Play, they actually do work if you login (even if your location is Amsterdam).
Finally, this is a new feature, you lost nothing. You can also choose not to use it and you have exactly the same as before.
-
@DoctorGTesting OK, thanks.
-
@oudstand: Not yet but it will be in the next one.
-
@gregor: Next snapshot will have a higher number.
-
@internetuser: 2FA should not be an issue. However their might be an issue right now if you change your backup email after first login. We are looking into that.
In the mean time if you cannot wait for a fix, create a free login with Proton and use that to login because their own logins also work.

Does this version still support Manifest V2
Yes.
-
@doctorg: Thanks!

@doctorgtesting: Why are you asking this here

Why are you asking this here
Because i always think that i crapped my KDE xdg-mime or Vivaldi has a bug with access of settings.
Perhaps i had checked bug tracker?
