- by Firefox user 14530851, 2 months agoRated 2 out of 5Seriously I am surprised I am giving this 3 stars. Surf Shark in general hasn't been all that great of an experience, compared to Cyber Ghost at least. This add-on is slow as browser add on usually are a bit slower, however it also just as the dektop app forgets my password even when I just change it, leading to endless changing and not being able to use it except signing on to the website. I am going back to cyber ghost ot Nord because I found 3 years Nord for 12 bucks on Dark-net, unless somehow this is all resolved I am getting my money back in 2 weeks, also not only that issue but overall speed is trash compared to Cyber Ghost and Cyber Ghost UI was way more in depth, graphically intensive and ran a million times better, signed on every time I wanted with whatever settings, kill switch worked almost to good, haven't had the same at all yet. Surf shark has no kill switch with add-on and always signing out randomly, not good. Just changed to a 2 because I forgot about that, until now, I am reinstalling it as an add-on the 3rd time right now and countless times for desk top, phone worked, but nothing special speed wise, Cyber Ghost integrated with Android at least much better. I have had worse with Pure VPN charging me 3 years strait just for doing a trial and complaining every year and not getting a refund until I took it to facebook, so that's the only reason this didn't get a 1 star.

I tried in chrome and there is works as expected.

posted a year agoHey! Unfortunately, our secure VPN service indeed requires you to purchase a subscription. In order to provide a secure and reliable VPN service, we have to invest a lot of resources into the VPN infrastructure, therefore, a free VPN solution is not available, at least at the moment. Thank you for understanding.- by Firefox user 16391031, a year agoRated 2 out of 5

- by Firefox user 14005951, a year agoRated 2 out of 5It is maddening that, not only does this extension automatically log one in to Surfshark, but that if I am incautious enough to put my email in then go to my saved passwords (I have an automatically generated one - there's no way I'm memorising and typing that in every time) the extension will blank the ID field and I have to start again.

There are a handful of issues that need to be worked out for example this extremely common and annoying pop up happens asking for a Username and Password (Surfshark support instructed me the credentials here https://my.surfshark.com/vpn/manual-setup/main would work however they do not), the extension frequently signs you out, the server list occasionally bugs out and improperly displays server names (for example Sydney - Australia would just be called Australia)
I suggest staying away from this extension if you don't want to have a troubleshooting nightmare on your hands..
Side note; If you expect this extension to Auto-Connect once the browser is opened then you would be mistaken unlike the Microsoft Edge version of their extension this one does not auto-connect upon the browser opening which if you do not have the full on Surfshark client expect your IP/DNS to leak.. - by Firefox user 16858912, a year agoRated 2 out of 5

- by felipe1982, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5the addon does not reconnect to the proxy when the browser is restarted, even though it appears to have been connected, when viewing the UI. A forced disconnect & reconnect is required to regain access to proxy, and "CleanWeb"
- by Firefox user 14507228, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5It disconnects randomly, something you can't have on a vpn service, if it at least had a kill switch feature like on desktop.
- by Firefox user 15741464, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5Surfshark firefox extension works well on windows PC's, connects fast, but the app doesn't save your login credentials which makes using it slow.
