- Rated 1 out of 5by Greg, a month agoThe latest update sneakily forces privacy data harvesting, including financial information, forms, and payment data. This is ridiculous and should be banned.
RE: Stop making this sound harmless. Firefox is clearly asking me to approve new required data collection before the extension can update. I cannot reject these permissions separately, so in practice I either accept the added privacy risk or I cannot install the update.
The warning explicitly mentions personally identifying information, financial and payment information, authentication information, and location. That is not just normal technical wording. If no new data collection was introduced, then explain exactly why Firefox now requires this new consent and why users are being forced to approve it. At the moment it looks like a serious privacy downgrade, and I am not comfortable accepting it.

posted a month agoHey, Greg, yesterday we had a Firefox extension update approved, and Firefox is now showing broader consent categories for data the extension already used. No new data collection was introduced on our side. The wording may look alarming, but in reality it refers to things like subscription ID/type, payment status, currency, etc. We remain committed to collecting only the minimum data necessary to provide and maintain the service. -L.L. - Rated 4 out of 5by David Hearn, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lannuser, 2 months agoWorks great, very convenient to have it straight in the browser. Has some unique features that the app doesn't offer either, such as the timezone spoofing which is nice.

G.M. - Rated 2 out of 5by François.puko, 2 months agoHello, I still can't use my dedicated IP address; only the Windows app offers it, along with Double VPN, Obfuscated, and Onion over VPN. The threat protection features are useless—they block some legitimate and secure websites. The ad blocker is ineffective; it simply doesn't work, so I've just disabled it. Split tunneling works well, but since Prime Video and Netflix detect VPNs, claiming that you can use a VPN to watch content from abroad is false and misleading.

posted 2 months agoHello there. Unfortunately, the dedicated IP feature is indeed unavailable on our extension. However, it should be available on our app on all operating systems. Could you contact us at support.nordvpn.com if you are unable to locate the feature? Our team will help you out anytime! -L.L. - Rated 1 out of 5by freir, 2 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by 4ron84, 3 months agoCompletely useless. At some point during a long session, you might get logged out or the plugin might reset, and suddenly you’re browsing with your real IP address on all open tabs. Even the “KillSwitch” feature doesn’t deliver what it promises. Which is, of course, completely unacceptable if, for example, you want to run an anonymous X account.
