Proton's full suite of services has been great for me and I have had no issues whatsoever with Proton VPN. Sure the paid version is way better (that's what I use) but I used the free version for a while first. I can't think of many other free offerings that have a proven track record of caring about your data. If all you care about is getting around certain online Acts - proton free is perfect. For me - the paid version is exceptional.

I am absolutely exited about Proton VPN! Everything is so great in the service and this plugin particularly. Also, I'd like to mention that Proton helps to so many low-on-fund people by giving them opportunity to use it free (with random location).

Would love to have it sign in to proton with different password, but still 5 / 5

a great extension. works well without bloat in it. For free users, this is especially good, since you can protect your privacy on the internet for $0. This is honestly awesome, and the only free VPN I'd trust.

A quick update to my original review. I'm giving this extension five stars now. It's behavior has smoothed out over time.

While the connection badge on the browser toolbar button is still sometimes red when it should be green and vice versa, it still works and passes all the tests I can throw at it. So, I do trust it when the only thing I want is a VPN while browsing. It does not and should not be expected to serve as a replacement for the Proton VPN desktop app.

Original Review
--------------------

Great extension.

My only gripe is that sometimes it stalls while connecting and the browser cannot load anything, while the button to disconnect/connect is unresponsive. To resolve the issue I need to either disable/re-enable and restart the browser, or reinstall the extension. It's happened a handful of times so it's worth pointing out.

Still, I definitely recommended this extension if all you're wanting is VPN in the browser because I've been a customer for many years and Proton is about the only organization I'd say I trust enough when it comes to privacy protection.

It works, fast and faultless
