autor: Sunfur, pred 10 mesiacmiFirst of all, the VPN works fine. You need to make an account, and you only get 10GB for free, but I can get over that since it's still a pretty good deal.
BUT. This extension messes with you configs without ever warning you about it or giving you the choice to disable it. It will automatically disable all prefetching and Firefox network prediction, even if the VPN is toggled off and you disable all privacy options in the extension settings. I believe that an extension that tramples over my preferences without even mentioning it ANYWHERE or giving me the option to disable this behavior is not worth it if you truly want to be able to have control over your own browser.
Obviously this doesn't affect you if you have prefetching disabled anyway, but I do believe that any form of unintended behavior is pretty bad.

The website, and also the info provided here, does state that providing your email for confirmation/verification is required for the 10GB. They do also state that marketing emails will be sent. My issue is that they obfuscate the fact that access to the 10GB is ACTUALLY tied to receiving marketing spam, instead of being tied simply to email verification.
There is no customer support email on their website, and no user feedback forms or anything, so the AI chatbot told me to submit my complaint about this to the feedback channel on the Windscribe Discord.
There is no feedback channel on the Windscribe server. Lol. If you have an actual issue or complaint, your only option is to send a message to #General, where it'll get drowned out by other conversations and/or dogpiled by users who disagree. I was "lucky" and got a response back from an actual Windscribe employee, who generously told me, "You can opt out of email marketing by subscribing to Pro," and then just sent a gif that said DEAL WITH IT, which, yikes.
Basically the actual terms of use are deceptive and the business clearly has very little respect for users. If you have a complaint, either pay them money to get around the issue, or go screw yourself. - Hodnotenie: 5 z 5autor: Používateľ Firefoxu - 16620618, pred mesiacom

- Hodnotenie: 1 z 5autor: leonone69, pred 2 mesiacmiThis plugin behaves in a very unscrupulous manner: its default behavior is to connect automatically, and if the connection fails, it cuts off your internet access entirely. Furthermore, as long as the plugin is active—regardless of whether you are actually connected to the VPN—it enforces an "ad-blocking" function without providing any notification; it silently blocks certain connections, wasting your time as you try to troubleshoot the issue.
