In-depth safety analysis

This VPN extension requests permissions like proxy, webRequest, cookies, tabs, and host access to all URLs. Taken together, these allow it to redirect and inspect all browser traffic, a necessary scope for a service that must encrypt and route your data through remote servers while helping to prevent leaks.

VPN tools inherently have full visibility into your browsing, so trust is essential. With free VPNs specifically, users should be mindful that business models can vary and may involve data collection. The developer declares it collects location information and states it does not sell data or use it for unrelated purposes, which are positive disclosures, though independent verification is rarely possible.

Our fact sheet shows this extension benefits from perfect Community Reputation and Maintenance scores, indicating strong user satisfaction and active upkeep. The weakest area is Publisher & Identity, where documentation about the company’s background is more limited. This does not imply wrongdoing, but users who value proven organisational transparency may want to research the publisher further.

AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.
