In case you missed it, Proton VPN now comes as a #Chromium browser extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proton-vpn-a-swiss-vpn-yo/jplgfhpmjnbigmhklmmbgecoobifkmpa.
Which #Chromium-based browser do you use the most?
We also offer a
@firefox extension - learn more here: https://protonvpn.com/blog/browser-extension/ and here: https://protonvpn.com/support/browser-extensions/.
@protonvpn None of them. Chromium-based browsers are never an option for me.
But I know it's important to make transition to privacy-centric services smooth for non tech-savvy people so I'm cool with you making one.
Thanks for the Firefox one! I'm always connected through VPN, but it's nice I can make a quick switch to a different exit node from the browser without reconfiguring VPN— useful for circumventing georestrictions.
There is a concern I have about extension though.
@protonvpn My configuration is like this: my browser is configured to use web proxy, squid running on a VPN box which is in turn connected to Proton, and I'm not always sure what proxy Firefox is using, the one it's set to use in settings or the one supplied by extension. For web pages extension works GeoIP test page shows a different address, but is it also used for other connections types, WebSockets and such? I know it's pretty much a corner case, but is such configuration tested at all?
