Windscribe - Free VPN and Ad Blocker por Windscribe

por bennybaconburger , há 6 anos This 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.

Resposta do programador
publicado a há 6 anosThe extension is being updated to a 3.0 version very soon, which will resolve most issues with the current one.

- I like Windscribe's approach to privacy and their dedication to it, don't get me wrong. But... boy is their connection super slow. It was a pain to browse even simple news websites containing mostly text. Then there's the fact that the addon says upon initialization that it uses Ublock which I already have, and that using both simultaneously is not recommended. On disabling Ublock origin, I got ads on YouTube. I couldn't find the setting that allowed me to use my old ad blocker instead of Windscribe's built in one that only seems to work with the VPN on.
- Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 12376444 , há 13 diasРасширение перестало работать пару лет назад - до сих пор так и не работает. Конкурентный VPN работает через расширение firefox, а Windscribe не работает.
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Kasander , há 22 diasGreat addon. Really. Works perfectly on Firefox and on Chrome.
Would be better if there was more than 10gb on the free tier, but nonetheless, this addon has a lot of extra options for tightening privacy and also there are free servers in many countries!
* for getting 10gb for free (every month) — you need to register an account and confirm your email on windscribe website. - Avaliado em 1 de 5por rdaraujo , há 23 diasIt's impossible to login:
"Something went wrong with your request. Please try again later."
