Vivaldi Technologies has announced a new partnership with Proton AG that will integrate the free version of Proton VPN into Vivaldi’s web browser, allowing every user a quick and easy way to access a virtual private network (VPN).
Vivaldi and Proton VPN have positioned the partnership as a “challenge to the dominance of US Big Tech giants,” according to the press release. Vivaldi CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner has long been a critic of the surveillance capitalism model, as far back as his previous browser company, Opera. David Peterson, general manager of Proton VPN, goes further, saying, “Together, Proton VPN and Vivaldi are setting a new standard that challenges the dominance of tech giants, providing a viable European alternative that helps people retake control of their digital lives.” Vivaldi is a Norwegian company, and Proton is based in Switzerland.
