- Rated 2 out of 5by Sunfur, 3 hours agoFirst 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by RJ, 2 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by ZevSua, 19 days agoУбожеское конченое фуфло. НА сайт захожу авторизуюсь. НА расширение авторизоватся никак не могу. Несколько десятков раз пробовал - нивкакую. Просто фуфло нерабочее
- Rated 4 out of 5by Vorona, 21 days agoFunktioniert gut, ein Stern Abzug, weil der "Verbrauch" an Megabyte pro Nutzung nicht immer nachzuvollziehen ist.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Babil, a month agoThe extension isn't working for me. For the past year, I haven't been able to log in using it. The desktop app works, but the extension doesn't.
At the time of writing I tried to log in again and it said "rate limited". Funny thing is I can log out log in 100 times using the android or desktop app and that will work. But no.. not this extension, not even once. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bardi, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Aurora, 2 months agoI like Windscribe's approach to privacy and their dedication to it, don't get me wrong. But... boy is their connection super slow. It was a pain to browse even simple news websites containing mostly text. Then there's the fact that the addon says upon initialization that it uses Ublock which I already have, and that using both simultaneously is not recommended. On disabling Ublock origin, I got ads on YouTube. I couldn't find the setting that allowed me to use my old ad blocker instead of Windscribe's built in one that only seems to work with the VPN on.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kasander, 2 months agoGreat addon. Really. Works perfectly on Firefox and on Chrome.
Would be better if there was more than 10gb on the free tier, but nonetheless, this addon has a lot of extra options for tightening privacy and also there are free servers in many countries!
* for getting 10gb for free (every month) — you need to register an account and confirm your email on windscribe website. - Rated 1 out of 5by rdaraujo, 2 months agoIt's impossible to login:
"Something went wrong with your request. Please try again later."
Debug log says:
"errorDescription":"JSON.parse: expected double-quoted property name at line 5 column 1 of the JSON data"
Tried in 2 different PCs, with 2 different Firefox profiles. - Rated 1 out of 5by 12, 2 months ago
