First of all, the VPN works fine. You need to make an account, and you only get 10GB for free, but I can get over that since it's still a pretty good deal.

BUT. This extension messes with you configs without ever warning you about it or giving you the choice to disable it. It will automatically disable all prefetching and Firefox network prediction, even if the VPN is toggles of and you disable all privacy options in the extension settings. I believe that an extension that tramples over my preferences without even mentioning it ANYWHERE or giving me the option to disable this behavior is not worth it if you truly want to be able to have control over your own browser.
Obviously this doesn't affect you if you have prefetching disabled anyway, but anyone should realize that any form of unintended behavior is pretty bad.

    No more Nanny State!
    I've regained access to all the sites I once used prior to the new "age restrictions" the Government decided was needed to keep the children safe. I've been a user of Windscribe for years and now can add this to my machines that don't require all the features of the full application.

    It's ok. A lot of the IPs are various degrees of blacklisted/cause issues despite having a paid subscription, but at least they're stable with little downtime in the soon to be year I've used it. The biggest issue is that the company is trying to be cute about everything, with inane shit that pops up left and right. I need these people to understand that while it's their workplace and means a lot to them, it's a freaking VPN to the rest of us and we really just need it to do its thing and shut up about it. Mullvad does that a lot better, so we'll see how much I value browser-only VPN when my sub is up.

    Windscribe вводит пользователей в заблуждение. Браузерное расширение с названием "Free VPN" на деле предоставляет не VPN, а прокси сервер. Никакого шифрования и безопасности у такого подключения нет.

    Excellent in every way. Fast, transparent, good pricing options, and a company that seems to care about privacy.

    it work perfectly if we buAnd it is really unique. The most important thing for me is the speed, which is great, and the other best part is the Build A Plan section, which is unique, and I renew my account every month through this. But the only problem is that it does not work with the free account. I wish the free account worked slower, which is why I am giving it one star less.y an account
