That is fine.</p><p>What I think is still an issue for some like me is that clicking on the VPN button installs the extension without asking. </p><p>I remember in my earlier days in 1st/2nd line support removing multiple extra toolbars installed on Windows machines when Internet Explorer was the go-to browser. People just clicked on something without knowing the consequences of that click and hupsakay yet another (not infrequently malware) toolbar appeared on their browser.</p><p>So I think a "Do you want to install the ProtonVPN extension Yes-No-Tell Me More" would be a good way of ensuring that users were fully informed during the whole process. </p><p>That would also be an ideal moment to explain how useful ProtonVPN is to Vivaldi users. I am here on Mastodon and have posted sporadically on the Vivialdi forums over the years yet the first indication that Vivaldi had partnered with ProtonVPN was when the button appeared on my toolbar.</p><p>Informed and happy users are worth their weight in gold.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldi</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vivaldibrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldibrowser</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/protonVPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protonVPN</span></a></p>

syklist<p>For any of you who don't want ProtonVPN in Vivaldi the good news is that the functionality is provided by an extension. So the ProtonVPN feature can either be disabled or removed completely.</p><p>"Tools" -> "Extensions" and there you will find ProtonVPN. Remove or disable as you wish and carry on as before. </p><p>There may be many reasons why you would want to remove it, for example if you already have a VPN via an application on your device that allows all browsers and apps to make use of the VPN. </p><p>I generally feel you are going to offer bundled features in say a browser it is much better to have them as opt-in than opt-out. </p><p>In this case though, after seeing the effect of the recently introduced UK Internet Content Blocker, blocking a particular website that an elderly relative uses, (without good reason as far as I could see) I can see a reason to make this particular feature an opt out. </p><p>Installing the ProtonVPN app on a Linux computer is somewhat more involved than logging into ProtonVPN in your browser. So maybe Vivaldi's ProtonVPN extension is something my elderly relative can learn to use.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldi</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/VivaldiBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VivaldiBrowser</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ProtonVPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtonVPN</span></a></p>
