I ran a series of leak tests and performance benchmarks. The feature protects against many forms of advertising, malware, phishing, DDOS attacks and other unwanted threats when enabled. It prevents IP address leaks by WebRTC in the web browser. The extension comes with two additional features: The icon indicates the connection status, and you may configure the extension to connect to a server automatically on browser launch. It took a second or two to open now, I'm not sure if this was caused by another extension running in the browser or an app on the system, but it is definitely annoying even though you won't open the interface a lot usually. The connection process works well but the interface opened with a delay when I tested the extension in the most recent Firefox and Chrome stable versions. You may then select one of the available server locations to connect to. Doing so can be a bit tricky if you copy and paste information, as the interface closes itself when the browser window loses focus. You need to sign in using your NordVPN username and password. The extension adds an icon to the browser's toolbar that you interact with. It is fully compatible with recent stable versions of the web browser and should install fine as well when you run Firefox ESR.Ĭhrome users can download and install the Chrome version of the extension for all supported versions of the browser. NordVPN is compatible with Firefox 42 or later according to the extension's profile page on the Mozilla website. Using the extension gives you an option to connect to a different server, and even use some sort of double-connection to NordVPN if you are connected using the desktop program as well. To name a few: you may not be able to install NordVPN in restricted environments, but may be able to use the browseradd-on. While one could argue that there is no need for a browser add-on if NordVPN is installed on the computer and running, there are cases were an add-on may be preferred by users.
The company released an add-on for the Firefox and Chrome web browsers which customers may install and use. It claims that it has a strict no logging policy, allows P2P traffic, offers servers in a lot of countries and regions, and does not restrict user bandwidth.
