The web is shifting.
In a world increasingly defined by tech giants and monopolies, users are waking up. They’re choosing privacy over profiling, sovereignty over surveillance, independence over inertia.
And at the heart of this shift are tools that respect users, not exploit them.
That’s why we’re proud to announce something big: Proton VPN for Vivaldi.
Yes, a world-class VPN, trusted by journalists, activists, and privacy die-hards alike, is now integrated natively into Vivaldi on desktop. No extra downloads. No complicated setup. Just powerful privacy, on your terms.
A Partnership Forged in Principle
Vivaldi and Proton share more than a product vision, we share values.
We’re both European companies, proudly outside the orbit of Silicon Valley’s extractive playbook or China’s state-driven oversight. We don’t believe your personal data should be a bargaining chip.
With this partnership, we’re uniting two forces in tech that build for people, not investors. It’s not about growth hacks or shareholder slides. It’s about protecting the web for the people who use it.
Privacy as a European Imperative
As governments and users alike reassess their relationship with tech, especially in light of escalating geopolitical tensions, there has been a huge increase in demand for independent, non-aligned, and values-driven solutions.
Europe needs European alternatives. In fact, everybody deserves European alternatives. And with Vivaldi and Proton, you’re getting exactly that. No hidden backdoors. No state surveillance. No alignment with any political agenda, just a commitment to keeping the web open, secure, and democratic.
Why We Chose Proton
Proton has consistently proven itself as a rare kind of tech company. It has challenged invasive surveillance laws, taken governments to court, and stood up for the rights of users everywhere. Its mission is transparent, and its actions speak louder than marketing ever could. Proton is governed by a Swiss non-profit and has no political leaning, just like Vivaldi is politically neutral. And just like Vivaldi, Proton is fighting for a better web. And now we’re doing it together. Will you join us?
