It regularly disconnects so pages won't load, as in, very frequently, making it extremely annoying to use...

Icon on app in tool bar often shows wrong status. Often hangs. Blocks after suspend and have to turn extension off then on again. As bad as Proton's Linux VPN app, wish I wasn't a paying customer.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Einar Ólafsson, 3 months agoIt work mostly well, but it will have issues reconnecting if the computer goes to sleep or if Firefox serivce get interutped in some way. The extentions does not seem to be listed on Proton support pages, so not sure either where to report these issues or find forums to discuss issues.

Please contact us at protonvpn.com/support/contact with more details so we can investigate the issue further. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18958776, 3 months agoWhen it works it's relatively good, though lacking in features compared to the full-fledged mobile or desktop apps (eg. no ability to configure profiles such as "stealth"). Unfortunately it very frequently fails to connect, or will say it's connected but you can't actually load any web pages. Sometimes the extension itself will even say that it is having trouble connecting and needs to be reinstalled which does work...until the same problem happens all over again. If it weren't for the reliability issues it would be an easy 4-star extension, with the 5th star being reserved for feature-parity with the mobile and desktop apps.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Dr. B. R. Shriradhakrishnasharnam, 3 months agoNot available for Firefox on Android, so I have no choice other than to skip it

posted 3 months agoThe browser extension is currently not officially supported on Firefox for Android, however, we will work on a mobile-friendly version in the future. In the meantime, you can download the native Proton VPN app at protonvpn.com/download-android. - Rated 5 out of 5by Hieu T., 3 months agoThe extension is not working at all at the time I am writing a review so I am forced to use the desktop app again which cuts my internet speed to 1/4th. Review will change if this is fixed. Edit:they fixed it

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jean-Jacques TAKAMURA, 3 months agoExtension has been extremely reliable for me over the years but over the past couple weeks the experience has really gone downhill, the VPN doesn't auto-connect on browser start, it loses connection very often and does not connect to a new server, and it often fails, outright saying I need to re-install the extension, which I have done a couple times now, to no avail. Not sure what they are cooking but I can't say I'd recommend the extension right, I will be sure to update my rating should this be a temporary spell.
