Windscribe - Free VPN and Ad Blocker av Windscribe
Recension av BenoitAndrieu
Betygsatt 3 av 5
av BenoitAndrieu, för 7 år sedanWhen it works, speeds are good and browsing is not affected too much. It is not constant, it may be really quick and sometimes quite slow. Overall good.
Unfortunately, after some random time, it becomes impossible to do anything : browsing to new pages, refreshs. When it happens, gpu usage for firefox is high.
Only solution is to restart firefox which is destroying the usability.
It doesn't happen everyday and sometimes it happens multiple times per day...
I haven't tested the Windscribe windows app.
Edit : I finally switched to Opera for the cases when I need privacy. The windscribe extension can perfectly work some days but the others requires way too much restart of Firefox. I leave it with 3 stars because of the monthly 10Gb free limit.

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Aurora, för 10 dagar sedanI 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.

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Kasander, för 23 dagar sedanGreat 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. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av rdaraujo, för 24 dagar sedanIt's impossible to login:
