New permissions verbatim: "The developer says this extension collects: personally identifying information, financial and payment information." Wtf. I don't care if that's different wording of existing permissions, I don't want you to have those permissions, NordVPN.

If you look at the Proton VPN extension it only requires permissions for Access your data for account.proton.me and account.protonvpn.com. Whereas for Nord it's required to access all website data, not optional. If Nord needs to access data for account information, they should restrict it to Nord domain(s), rather than leaving it open for this extension to be able to read all website data. That seems like an implementation improvement they can make, rather than excuses.

NordVPN is pushing an update to force data harvesting including privacy data and payment information. Even from paying users like me!

Don't panic, this is a Firefox policy change, not a NordVPN data grab.

NordVPN hasn't introduced any new telemetry, tracking, or background data harvesting. They simply pushed an update to comply with Firefox's new rules. Because this is a premium, account-based service, it naturally handles:

Authentication: Your Nord Account login/email.

Financial Info: Checking your active subscription status so the extension actually works.

Location: Finding the closest, fastest VPN servers to route your traffic.

Chill. It's exactly the same Nord VPN service we've been getting all along.

Wtf is the new permission for ? Please provide a changelog or revert the changes now !

What the heck is that 🤨 ? Private data harvesting... for a privacy related product.

One could start think about if our data is actually private when using Nord products.

If this won't be reverted no way I'm gonna prolong subscription.

Edit: (forbidden URLs: look for ["Announcing data collection consent changes for new Firefox extensions" site:blog.mozilla.org] in search engine)- is what I assume is L.L. referring to.

I'd like to see explanation then why it was collected up until now, just simply policy was not requiring to explicitly be stated up until now.
Can this really, really cannot be avoided?

As other commenters mentioned, its started to force privacy data harvesting, including financial information, forms, and payment data.

While a VPN advertises that you won’t be tracked online, now the VPN itself tracks your financial, payment, and personally identifying info. Brilliant scheme.
