Now you can get and use the Proton VPN browser extension even if you are not a paid user. Previously, the extension was only available if you were on one of the service’s paid plans, but now you can install it as long as you’re on a Firefox or Chromium-based browser. Proton VPN was ours the best choice for VPNs in the last yearbecause it was fast and doesn’t collect data passing through its network.
Its apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux have always been free, but the free service comes with limitations. The service’s paid plans are faster, have more than 100 countries to choose from, and allow you to connect up to 10 devices at once. Meanwhile, the free version struggled to connect when we tested it. Still, it does the job, and now it comes with access to the service’s browser extension, which lets you keep your Proton VPN connection in your browser only.
Yes, the extension will allow you to use your default internet connection outside of your browser. If you’re using an app that doesn’t work properly while on a device-wide VPN, but you want to protect your connection or bypass region-based website blocks, an extension can solve your problem. Unfortunately, Proton has no plans to release a Safari browser just yet, but we’ll let you know if that changes. you can get Chrome and Firefox Extensions from Proton VPN official website.
The company also recently launched a new plan called Proton Duoif you are considering paying for its products. It’s specially designed for two users, who will get 1 TB of storage space (with an additional 15 GB of bonus storage each year), as well as full access to Proton Mail, Drive, Calendar, Pass and VPN.
