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" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldi</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vivaldibrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldibrowser</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/protonVPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>protonVPN</span></a></p>
