Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.

Yup. You gotta read the fine print folks. You can all got to stack social and pick up 5 years of adguard vpn with no log policy. Its not the best out there, but its not horrible either. And at around 26 quid for 5 years, it aint bad.

This is the reason I've always been skeptical of all those Video Download Non Plus Ultra Pro 9000 extensions, also in Firefox. I'm like yea right. Next thing I know I'll be getting copyright infringement and piracy notices plus cease-and-desist letters.
