NordVPN - a VPN proxy extension for Firefox by NordVPN
Review by Mohan
Rated 1 out of 5
by Mohan, 5 years agoIt's amazing that almost every single review this extension has had in the recent past is a scathingly negative review.
And there's good reason for that. This is one of the better, even 'premium', VPNs out there. And yes, their service is fast. But it comes with several pains. This Firefox extension is pathetic. At it's best, it asks you to keep logging in, fails often, fails to load pages often, and the window is distorted (it keeps getting elongated!). At it's worst, well, it crashes and takes Firefox along with it.
It should be clear by now that this is not an isolated incident - something that can be resolved by customer service. This is an issue from the development of the extension - which needs to be sorted.
The Windows app (and phone apps) work well, but they're pretty heavy and battery hungry. So I wish this browser extension would 'just work' - but it doesn't.

Le terme « généralement » fait référence à des informations existantes telles que votre identifiant d’abonnement et votre devise. Nous restons attachés à la protection de votre vie privée et n’utilisons que les données nécessaires au bon fonctionnement de nos services. Cordialement, G.M. - Rated 1 out of 5by Evan, 16 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by leetNigthshade, 2 months agoNew permissions verbatim: "The developer says this extension collects: personally identifying information, financial and payment information." Wtf. I don't care if that's different wording of existing permissions, I don't want you to have those permissions, NordVPN.
If you look at the Proton VPN extension it only requires permissions for Access your data for account.proton.me and account.protonvpn.com. Whereas for Nord it's required to access all website data, not optional. If Nord needs to access data for account information, they should restrict it to Nord domain(s), rather than leaving it open for this extension to be able to read all website data. That seems like an implementation improvement they can make, rather than excuses.Developer response
posted a month agoHello! Thank you for your review. Please note that despite the different wording, the same permissions as previously are used and we do not collect any additional information. While we cannot comment on other services, website access is required for VPN to run on them. If you'd like more information or have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@nordvpn.com. -D.S.
