Just found my Vivaldi update contained a little more than just bugfixes... it now has Proton VPN built in.

It's actually part of the browser, not an extension, so I'm in two minds whether I like that... or not.

You need either a Vivaldi account or a Proton account, so it's not completely anonymous, but it's a start.

The free-tier of Proton VPN also appears to be bandwidth limited and your exit point is randomised, so... yeah, it's ok...

I think they had an issue with a back door needing to be patched, has that been done yet? It seems very sleek otherwise. I’m running librewolf though, so UX upgrade would visually be better for me if Zen does have that fixed

AFAIK that was a telemetry issue that was fixed (but very poorly addressed.) last year. Then someone posted about it recently...
