Don't speak in the name of all of us.
I speak in the name of myself
This was one of the most requested features.
I haven't noticed this. Was there a feature request with many upvotes about VPN? Link?

https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/hcmek7/vpn/Not many upvotes (only about 13 upvotes overall?)
Also old reddit links without huge enthusiasm:"Please no"
"Why bother?"
"Probably not, and I don't think its necessary." -
@Stardust Didn't even check them, thank you for doing this.
Maybe there was something more important? I mean, besides including the Internet tools you use every day, it would also help Vivaldi in one way or another? Like cross-promotion or something? -

I think so. I think it's a good thing for Vivaldi and Proton. Looks like Proton VPN is good VPN service so I don't mind its integration in Vivaldi

In 2024 Proton spoke in a not-so-pleasant way about V.
Now, err... it's better. -
@Stardust said in Privacy Without Compromise: Proton VPN is Now Built Into Vivaldi:
Adding "Placeholder icon" to address bar is not necessary imo, Vivaldi already opens What's New page when updating it.
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.

Why, from what I know you can't see the others' bug reports, no?
Some users can access it and confirm any bugs or add notes to reproduce them.

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.

@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.

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.
