par bennybaconburger, il y a 7 ansThis extension is fine. It does a bunch of stuff. I love Windscribe and think it's a great option for a light-use VPN.
That being said, it is just better to get the desktop version of the app instead. The only way I would justify choosing the extension over the desktop app would be if you were using a portable version of Firefox. Otherwise, get their desktop application.
Secondly, I was having an issue where Firefox was starting up and then not loading my home page (www.google.com). At first I blamed it on uBlock, but then I did some debugging and found that this extension blocks the first page from loading when Firefox starts. My guess is it has something to do with either the extension refusing to initially load the page, or if Firefox doesn't want to load a page on startup until all extensions are loaded. Either way, I'd rather remove the extension than use a different browser. :(
Edit: After reading further reviews, it has been made clear by Windscribe that they have only put priority on the Chrome extension and have not been updating this problem despite its being reported on their subreddit.
Edit 7/7/19: While I'm not acquainted with the add-ons rollout system, I feel that three months does not qualify as soon. I really do want the extension to be updated; it hasn't yet!
Edit 8/26/19: Now that I'm reading the developer response again, going into excess of 4 months does not qualify as 'very soon' in my opinion.

- Noté 5 sur 5par brzc, il y a 2 joursI have been a user for the past 5 years and tried many other VPN's and came back to Windscribe. It is simple to use, if you need help their GARRY automated assistant will help you whenever. It has great settings to keep you private, anonymous blocks malware and very easy to use. If you use the Client and the Extension you become invisible on the World Wide WEB. Great price too only 69$ per year. Once configured it blocks all the nasty things out there. Having worked in IT for over 30 years it is Simply the Best in VPN Clients!
- Noté 1 sur 5par Seren666, il y a 5 joursIf you happen to accidentally log out, the extension permanently breaks and you are unable to log in again because it no longer loads to that stage. Obviously re-installing fixes it but you can't log in with email so if you forget your username you can't log in. I've done a reset password (I'm not even sure if that will give me my username and I already know my password...) but I haven't received a reset email in at least 30mins...
When I was logged in, the app would often show me as connected but not show an IP so I'm not sure if the VPN is even active... - Noté 1 sur 5par Igor, il y a 7 joursГовнище!!! Не работает - просит регистрации - в очко этих петухов обоссаных!

- Noté 1 sur 5par Almost9797, il y a un moisExtension login failed. Windscribe.com blocked my IP address (what's the point of a VPN company blocking a pooled CGNAT address? Why not just use IPv6 addresses?). Logging into windscribe.net (using the same credentials as the extension) is fine. Writing to support@windscribe.com, including the details, results in an automated response redirecting to Garry (the bot) and the Knowledge Base, which are hosted on windscribe.com and blocks my IP in the first place. Reddit? Why not point this out right away instead of having users waste their time? Using other reputable VPNs is much easier than this.

- Noté 1 sur 5par kakaze, il y a un moisабсолютно нерабочее, к сервам не подключается, а если и подключается, то в любом случае ни 1 сайт не грузится, ваще никакой. +Требует авторизации, да и всего 10 Гб на месяц это мало.

- Noté 5 sur 5par calraith, il y a 2 moisI've had a subscription to Windscribe for several years. Our CISO at work has made an effort to block outbound VPN connections, but Windscribe connects to any endpoint I wish as easily as if my PC were in the DMZ. Same for many restaurant hot spots, schools, medical offices, etc. I love that Windscribe automates connections using several different protocols and encryption methods, and I can secure my browsing from meddling network admins as easily as pressing the "On" button.
