- (2025-07-08) Noah Westphal: works amazing!
- (2025-07-04) Overion Over: If you create an account and log in with a VPN you still won't be able to connect to it you'll get an endless loading in Russia. Do something about it your app on phone is great.
- (2025-07-03) Juvencia Martinez: I am not sure if it on my part but the page wont reload and I had good internet I even did a speed test and it said it was good and it made my internet slower
- (2025-07-02) Kit Chu: just tried free protonVPN extension for Chrome, expecting to connect to chatgpt.com from Hong Kong. the chrome extension connected to Netherland server then can't access all web site except pronton web site.
- (2025-07-01) Kevin (Ivar): Best vpn finally got an extension, 10/10 recommended.
- (2025-07-01) Олексій Косов: ok
- (2025-06-29) Asriel Dreemurr: Don't get the fake FBI reviews made to sabotage the VPN definitely stops illegal surveillance and cyber-stalking especially makes it harder for your ISP to illegally cyberstalk your downloads dead in its track I encourage everyone to try out ProtonVPN. Been using it for a few years and haven't had any issues with it at all all the fake sabotage reviews feels like an attack from government workers. You people who promote what do you have to hide is part of the problem and pose a National Security threat to everyone's devices. You will be accused of hacking manipulation to make individuals vulnerable CERN has state of the art technology I don't see why people would bash ProtonVPN unless you're a government spy. For anyone working in the ISP department it is against the law and a federal offense to even stalk downloads you have no business doing that quit your job while you can you KNOW what you're doing is against the law VPNs are perfectly legal and practices cybersecurity and ethical protection against hackers. Don't browse online with stalkers hiding around waiting to bait you out of your privacy I definitely recommend ProtonVPN! For enhanced privacy and security I will also recommend using this on UnGoogled Chromium to prevent cyberstalking! Funfact for the day did you know the people of CERN also created the World Wide Web yeah they're that powerful of course people would fear ProtonVPN tricking you into not using it!
- (2025-06-27) Yasir Abbas: Very bad vpn I had ever used.
- (2025-06-25) Kifa Ije: sucks
- (2025-06-23) Heitor Mello: Seems to work just fine and the UI is better than I expected (looks better than the Linux app)
- (2025-06-19) Antonio 777: Vivaldi Chromium extension does not work over Russia, while the mobile version works. help. please add at least a way to switch free servers like in the mobile version
- (2025-06-15) Eigenvektor: It doesn't give option to favorite locations. And after a network issue (which happens frequently from where I operate), it doesn't connect to the last location. I always have to type in the country of choice again. Works well, though, once connected.
- (2025-06-13) Roland J: Ignore all the whining and crying. This extension is excellent and works very well. In fact, I prefer using this over the app. As soon as you open your browser, you are instantly connected. The connection is very reliable and never drops.
- (2025-06-12) Andy: Really poor configuration options compare with Windows and Android, but it works
- (2025-06-11) Thinh Nguyen: best quality for VPN
- (2025-06-06) Desmond: The quick connect feature often connects to a server with 200ms+ ping. On desktop it works fine, connecting to the nearest server with 50ms ping.
- (2025-06-05) Eric Draven: It works but it's very limited in features compared to just using the desktop application. The only reason I was looking at using this is because I am a gamer and I like having the lowest ping possible so I often disable the VPN and then I forget to enable it back again when I am done. This is supposed to make sure I always have a VPN enabled when I am browsing when it matters most but I'd like to be able to customize my DNS most of all because I prefer Quad9 DNS.
- (2025-05-30) Barbados Slim: Not working from Russia.
- (2025-05-28) bob f: Seems to have different logic from the desktop app re which country to select. Currently browser extension only connecting to one specific server.
- (2025-05-27) William Savage: The best VPN extension I have used, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a VPN. Easy to setup and understand
- (2025-05-26) Daniel Rivera: It works for everything and easy to use, no complaints
- (2025-05-26) Elena Constantinescu: I use it all the time for Netflix. I always find a server that works!
- (2025-05-26) Hugo Alexandre de Araújo Duarte: I’ve tried a few VPN apps over the years, but this one really stands out. It’s fast, super easy to use, and most importantly, it actually works. I can browse privately, stream my favorite shows (like Netflix and Hulu) from anywhere, and I don’t have to worry about my data being tracked. What I love the most is how quick the connection is. Just one tap and I’m instantly connected to a secure server. There are tons of servers to choose from, so I can switch locations easily and access geo-blocked content whenever I want.
- (2025-05-23) Ayvin: It works for about 10 minutes before being disconnected from the server for an unknown reason, requiring manual reconnection. Alternatively, it reconnects automatically after about 5 minutes but then disconnects again, and the cycle repeats from the beginning
- (2025-05-22) Satturnaliy: Thanks Proton! If the extension doesn't work for you, try downloading the desktop version.
- (2025-05-21) Abner Luiz: Has been completely unusable on chrome due to an authentification error for months now. Stuck on an endless proxy prompt that asks for username and password over and over and over again.
- (2025-05-21) Art Sky: finally, love you guys.
- (2025-05-21) Mr. SMART Engineering: Just showing connected, but not working.
- (2025-05-20) Aryan Pardeshi: A lot of websites dont function properly (they do work with other vpns)
- (2025-05-20) leion247: (Updated: 5/20/2025) Pretty sad extension version of the app. Until it's fixed and adds one missing feature, I can't rate it higher. I am a paying user and expected a better extension version than this. Issues: -Still has regular popups asking to re-enter password as has been mentioned everywhere. -Connection drops every so often, requiring a manual reconnection from time to time. Missing Features: -Setting a default country for quick connect, as I'd rather not use my home country which is default. -No kill switch setting.
- (2025-05-18) Crimson Herald (G-6548901): VPN Plus Subscriber. The "Kill Switch" feature is available on the Windows desktop, Android , IOS, MAC OS Apps. Use it instead if this is a problem for you. Sometimes other factors may limit or impair successfully connecting. The Internet is a big landscape with many issues. Often times deleting the Client Configuration and creating a new one clears of up many connection issues, for example using the recently released Apple TV version of Proton VPN. Otherwise it works great and quickly and securely. It's worth the money.
- (2025-05-17) Mr. Mister: Hello, I'm using the free version from Turkey. It used to work pretty well but recently it just doesn't. When I activate the extension it connects to a server but it acts like there's no internet connection. Is there a server maintenance?
- (2025-05-16) Soofux Official: Probably the best vpn I have used and it's good for torrenting, games, and videos. Also I would like to point out I would like a kill switch. It's not over expensive [i have vpn plus] and I'm reviewing both the extension and the exe. That's all. :D
- (2025-05-15) 1 ANDROID: People are just stupid. they want everything for free but its impossible to give that many things for free. atleast they are not selling our data for money and still providing "no logs" policy. if you want more feature then download the software of proton vpn. other companies have got caught stealing user data. this vpn gives good speed with anonymity and with options like tunneling, tcp, udp, etc. i have never seen this many features on a free vpn.
- (2025-05-13) zzz: Its not terrible, but i think it should have a kill switch to make it more secure.
- (2025-05-12) Ivan L: Claims to be free. Asks for money.
- (2025-05-10) ahsaan khan: japan servers are great for free users. gets the job done.
- (2025-05-09) Shephard Gatumu: I have been trying to reach out to your sales/support team for a demo for my organization but have never gotten any response or any feedback on my email. I have also been submitting a lot of requests to book for a demo but nothing. Could you please reach out?
- (2025-05-03) QY MZ: I am a loyal user of Proton. I use many products of this company, especially Mail and Pass, which I feel are very smooth to use. But this good experience is limited to relatively free countries such as the United States and Australia. When I stay in some countries where the government likes to control (such as China), I have to use a VPN to use your application. I found your own VPN today and was very excited, but after trying it, I found that this VPN actually requires another VPN to log in and register, and when I was experiencing the free plan, I couldn’t connect at all, and I couldn’t even open YouTube! The reason I use a VPN is so I can freely and privately access any website, but what freedom do I have if I can’t even access the VPN itself? When can you guarantee to provide good services in China, Russia and other regions?
- (2025-05-02) Yuri A: Free version does not work
- (2025-04-29) Md Iqbal Hossain: It's a Best VPN for me. Work always perfectly. Thanks Proton vpn developer and team.
- (2025-04-28) Jordan P: Works well!
- (2025-04-27) libra study: just intalled the desktop app and chrome extension dont need to run the desktop app. chrome is working great, fast and realiable thank you
- (2025-04-26) Jubair Ahmed: why it's checks is there is internet- every time I opened my browser? and most time I don't have and I see an error notification. worst.
- (2025-04-23) S S: The application's interface takes a very long time to load in the browser (up to 5 seconds), while other apps load almost instantly for some reason. There are frequent disconnections in Russia (which is understandable, given the circumstances). Also, the browser version lacks some of the features available in the regular Android app.
- (2025-04-21) Ayham: when it works, it's awesome! but most of the time it's a buggy mess. takes way too long to open the extension and randomly logs out of my account or discoonects and i have to reinstall it to work again.
- (2025-04-17) Yehor Inozemtsev: Seriously the best VPN I've ever used, especially when it comes to its speed. You only run into slow connections every once in a while, but even then it's an easy fix – just reconnect to a server. No idea how it got a 2.6 rating on here :/ The one thing I'd really like to see added is the option for it to automatically reconnect after some time or if the connection drops. That would be a pretty simple way to handle the rare slow speed thing I mentioned :D
- (2025-04-16) Karl Maloney: I'm using on Brave browser, and this extension is the most finicky I've ever used. Unlike the desktop app version, it's a real pain to reconnect when you lose or disconnect your internet connection (e.g., switching WiFi or LAN connection). And it says it's connected when it's not--there's obviously no internet connection when you can't reach any website, despite the extension saying it's connected to a server. Also has a very bad user interface. Why no ability to save profiles like in the desktop version? Annoying having to scroll for a long time or having to search for your country just to find your preferred server. Edit: Reduced from 2 stars to 1 because I always have re-enter my username and password after doing the most simple things in the extension. Even worse, re-entering my login info NEVER works until the 15th or so attempt, or whenever the extension decides to accept my login info. Why am I paying for Proton's Unlimited plan when something as simple as entering my login info into the extension doesn't work? This app is more a waste of time and annoying than it is useful.
- (2025-04-15) Cem Bingöl: Works almost flawlessly. In rare occasions, it stucks connecting a server. I think it happens when a server is unavailable or something. However, you can solve it by simply reconnecting. Thank you, Proton!
