Information about VPN can be in "Initial Tour" that you see on first installation with theme selection, tabs placement etc..
GREAT idea!

@ThePfromtheO They should be all those with the "soprano" badge, if you follow this discussion https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue/2839?page=142 you can also have updates on the VB reported.

Yes but from the next version on the "What's New" page will no longer talk about the VPN but about the new features, and so those who install Vivaldi 7.4 for the first time will not have any information about the VPN.
Valid point.
Information about VPN can be in "Initial Tour" that you see on first installation with theme selection, tabs placement etc..Also there could be Recommended by Vivaldi extensions page listing Proton VPN and other good extensions like uBO.
Given what happened i would say the more information the better.

I haven't read every message in this thread but I don't see what he fuss is about. Personally I like the Free Proton VPN product. but if it is not installed, the question is just.. how to inform the user about it.
so why not just have a popup when you click it that says this is going to install, do you agree to install? maybe with some text saying to right click the icon to remove it.
and a tooltip that says "install Proton VPN"
I admit I had no idea that it wasn't actually installed already.
this isn't an actual scandal like the apple iphone U2 album thing where actual space on their device (for some users) got eaten up by an album that the majority of people probably weren't going to listen to.

The super browers

@geraki Which browsers?
-
Proton is great, if you like 768 DSL. Browsing is awful. Images dropped. Video poker data loss. Images pixelated.

And your point being?
I keep moving between Vivaldi \ Edge, the only browsers you really need. . .
Vivaldi is a good piece of browser software that is carefully maintained and cared about the most fantastic people!!
@Pathduck 💚 is one of my major reasons for loving the Vivaldi-Community!

... The Times They Are a-Changin ... When Opera Turbo appeared, which was an improved VPN, there was just a button on/off that appeared. And there were only "Wows
". Everyone was free to use it or not and there was no fuss at all. There was no debate, everything was more simple when browsing. High tech firms have made browsing a bad business by now. I'm glad that Vivaldi dare to propose a VPN, and after all let us choose to use it or not. There was such a fuss for Mastodon button in the panel forgetting that integrating such functionalities is not simple as ABC. Even if the installation of this VPN was not clear, some on the forum gave a lot of explanations. This is the good side and best aspect of this place, here. -

Yea, but not everyone checks the forums from the start, especially not before the update (and before encountering this Proton VPN problem)

I got fed up with being spammed by Proton on 𝕏, so I had to block the channel. This is the downside of “free” apps and service. Fortunately, I never gave them an email address, and instead declined the offer to test the VPN client. From what I have read, there is a good chance that many users will have to pay to get a good service.

@ThePfromtheO I didn't even read the VPN popup what''s new page before trying it out - that said I just assumed when I saw the VPN button it was already built into the browser
-
@Pesala oh wait.. because I logged into the VPN with my vivaldi mail account, does that mean my vivaldi mail is going to get a lot of proton advertising mail?
