Vivaldi pointed out that 'Most browsers on the market support Big Tech's surveillance business model by collecting very personal information about users' habits, preferences, and online activities. Unfortunately, in the current situation, users have little choice but to submit to this data collection,' and appealed that Proton VPN is an alternative to such surveillance. The partnership between the two companies was touted as 'one that will help users break away from Big Tech.'

With Proton VPN integrated into Vivaldi, Vivaldi users can now use the free Proton VPN with their Vivaldi account, with no bandwidth restrictions. Users can also upgrade to a paid version of Proton VPN if they wish, with the free version offering access to servers in 5 randomly selected countries, while the paid version offers faster speeds, access to 11,000+ servers in 110+ countries, and other premium features.

Proton VPN offers an ad blocking feature called '

NetShield ' that prevents content such as ads and trackers from being loaded, and also has a no-log policy that does not store logs of visited pages, etc. Another feature is that it is based in Switzerland, which has strict privacy laws.

Vivaldi is also a product that places emphasis on privacy protection, clearly stating that it 'does not track or sell personal information,' and one of its advantages is that it has a built-in tracker/ad blocker.

The partnership between Vivaldi and Proton VPN will provide a 'truly private online experience' that won't collect user data, gives unlimited access to content around the world, and blocks intrusive ads.

Vivaldi said, 'Consumers around the world are tired of Big Tech's data collection, but until recently, they didn't have an alternative. Europe is the perfect place to provide that alternative. Together, Proton VPN and Vivaldi will set a new standard for a free, private, customizable web that challenges the dominance of American Big Tech companies.'
