If one could at least choose preferred nations rather than having to accept the default picked by the Proton extension, life would be easier. Otherwise, one must disconnect totally from Proton VPN and reconnect later -- or do a quick study in Japanese, Chinese (apologies, Aifun Ltd), etc.!
(Re: ProtonVPN's response) -- I've used NordVPN and Surfshark in the past and I lever lost my language choice. Neither one changed nor corrupted my browser language as ProtonVPN does. Both are linguistically "transparent to the user". If ProtonVPN thinks loss of legibility is "proof" it is working and that illegible browser output that cannot be restored--even when their VPN service is turned off-- is a good trade-off, they're naively mistaken. Proton VPN's algorithm of an arbitrary node selection with hopes that one gets the right language "brass ring" on Proton's node merry-go-round leaves no choice but to give up their VPN protection. Proton could offer users a language preference option, but that seems outside their wherewithal, unlike other VPN providers.
Of course, Proton offers the choice of a paid "upgrade" to solve the loss of language problem. My "test drive" of free Proton VPN shows that it cannot ensure language autonymy; why would I pay to risk more poor performance?
(Again a 2/20/26 update, solicited by Proton:) Nothing new, better or improved. Same language corruption, same poor choices of 10 (Proton's lead-in still says "5") lands in their "take what you get and shut up!" node lottery in the brass ring grab that corrupts your set language --"proof that it's working...", says Proton. Oh, but you can opt for another bad choice by simply selecting "Change..." and waiting up to 10 minutes for another--likely poor--choice and hope it speaks your language. All this could be lessened if not done away with by allowing us freeloaders (who'd pay for this kind of performance and service?) to specify a language preference on signing up. Nope. Too complicated for Proton's team to implement.
So from me, still one star.

Data: 5 miesięcy temuThis is expected since your IP address and geolocation are changed to appear as if you're in the country that our server is located in. It means that Proton VPN is working as intended. Whatever server you connect to, you're likely to be served content in the language of that server's country.
That said, the default Connect option will connect you to the fastest available server for you. This leads to better load balancing and higher speed, which is a priority for free users. You still have the option to switch to another randomly allocated server, or you can upgrade to connect to a specific server in a country of your choice.

It just keep trying to load for eternity without anything happening. The only other security/privacy add-on I have is UBO and my browser is up to date.

- Ocena: 5/5Autor: GravityPopsicle, 7 dni temuI love Proton VPN! Yes, it requires an account but it is so easy to make one and the unlimited free data is just too good of a deal for a (currently) brokie like me :p

- Ocena: 1/5Autor: Foxer, 8 dni temuWhat happened? I recently renewed my subscription (not for the first time), and now I'm installing the extension on a new device, but it simply won't load (it just keeps loading forever!!!). Fix this! I've been experiencing issues for months now- I have to reconnect frequently, otherwise pages won't load. There are other issues, so I won't list them all here.

Everytime I first install it, the VPN works great. However, after I restart Firefox, it can never connect again and no website will load at all whenever it says "Connected". I need to reinstall the extension in order for it to work. It doesn't matter what fork I'm on, it doesn't matter what PC I'm on, and this has been happening for years. Works great on Vivaldi which you'd expect, given the extension is pre-loaded in the browser...but cmon I'm a Firefox guy and I'd like for this to work so I can use the VPN I'm paying for on my browser of choice. Until then, I'm not paying extra for it.

What OS are you running?

- Ocena: 5/5Autor: cuvtixo, 13 dni temuMainly I use this extension on Chrome-based browsers, which gets labelled as a different "device"(?) This is very easy to use on both browser platforms. It was surprisingly difficult for me even find how to rate a FF extension on Mozilla! But it's definitely worthwhile for someone who uses Firefox only occasionally

I’m frustrated, I’m a premium subscriber on an annual plan, and I still can’t use the service in the browser that’s officially supported via the extension. We need an ETA! It’s been almost two months with no updates.
