Privacy Without Compromise: Proton VPN is Now Built Into Vivaldi
-
@Ruarí Well. I have tested ProtonVPN on my phone, If connected to Norway server, you can't reach NRK, TV2 Play etc. Even you use split tunneling and exclude these apps from use VPN it still doent work. And I need exclude for examle play.tv2.no etc fom using VPN if it should works in the browser also when Im connecting to ProtonVPN as well... Other VPN apps works.. But enough about that... .
-
@Ruarí I should better remember my reported bugs. Already known.
VB-115054 "Vivaldi does not detect that it is already default browser" - Unconfirmed. -
Could we have a discussion about how this works? Is DNS sent through Proton? Is all data routed through them?
Current Vivaldi snapshot.. MX-23 Linux x64, KDE desktop.
-
Thank you for the great initiative and the great work on Vivaldi browser.

Hi, I guess it is better to open a new thread in security, such discussions get always lost in these threads.Cheers, mib

@Ruarí Considering the new version is based on branch-head 3635, does this mean that changes released in snapshots post-7.2 (branch-heads 3639+) aren't included?
-
@levrini: We bumped that number to simplify some things for us. Proton is the only change since yesterday's minor update.
-
I just got the update, signed in with my proton account, and out of the gate I have over 600 megs a second. VERY VERY VERY nice. Thanks a lot for a job very well done.

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.
Nothing wrong with the Proton products.
-
It doesn't work with vivaldi log in!

This post is deleted! -

I agree with you! I pay for the Proton suite and have never had any issues. I love their products.

Maybe you're not using sync? I'm not cause I backup my profile's default folder so have no need for Vivaldi's built in sync, and I couldn't sign using my Vivaldi account.

Quite the opposite in fact. I pay for the Proton suite and have never run into any issues. I love their stuff.
Want to fix your post and call out the one I called out cause they are the one that does not want Proton products? Thanks

Nice to have Proton VPN intergrated.
Dear Vivaldi, how about making a partnership with Adguard Inc too?
June is coming, uBO will be gone...
Your internal ad blocker is basically Adblock Plus, it can load only ABP filters. So no advanced filter syntax is supported and many sites can detect your ad blocker like they can detect ABP.
The MV3 Adguard extension because of the way MV3 extensions have to work in order to keep the service worker awake can load the trackers or show ads if the service is not awaken yet and the most important it is very resource heavy because it needs at least 300 MB of RAM to be used all the time in order to wake up the service worker.
Make a similar partnership with Adguard Inc too in order to have an advanced built-in ad blocker like Adguard without requiring additional downloads, installations, or updates for the Adguard windows or Android app.
You need other partnerships too... -
@electryon I don't think integrating with Adguard would really solve many of those problems. It would still be a Manifest v3 extension, with all the disadvantages that comes with that. Integrating with Adguard's app could be more feasible, but I would assume the underlying tech wouldn't be all that compatible to the Chromium-specific Vivaldi blocker code. In short, it wouldn't be straightforward to integrate it into the browser in a meaningful way, and it might be better to instead work on improving the built in blocker.
-
@CummingCowGirl my post was actually agreeing with you! But yeah I will edit my post to make that more clear
-
@pgaa TV 2 Play works in the browser in the this Proton extension. I can tell you that because I litterally tried it before my reply. NRK did not work but again, I was using a non-Norwegian localtion so this is to be expected IMHO.
-
@hauebe What error do you get exactly? Perhaps provide a screenshot as well as that might have some clues.
-
@16patsle
It won't have to be a MV3 extension.
Adguard Inc is a very capable company and if they are asked to make an embeddable adblocker library of Adguard (something like Brave Shields or Ghostery's embeddable adblocker library), they can do it.
Like they are capable to create multiple apps and solutions for their ad blocker libraries.
But someone would have to ask first for it:) -
Proton subscription price is 6.66 - 14.99 euro per month depending on the plan. Just sayin in case someone (like me) thought it is free

The version in Vivaldi is free. Once signed in it said NOTHING about a trial period or paying upfront.
