Top 10 Best VPN Extensions for Chrome (2025)

User reviews

Users find ExpressVPN's Chrome extension reliable, stable, and easy to use, effectively masking location for privacy and access to restricted content. However, the extension relies on a separate desktop app, limiting convenient use. A prevalent issue is that the extension continues to spoof location even when turned off, disrupting Chrome's location services and affecting search results. Additionally, some face connectivity problems when changing servers or disconnecting, and performance can be region-dependent, with issues reported in Russia.

Pros

Easy to use extension
Allows disguising location effectively, useful for accessing restricted content
Maintains good speed while providing privacy

Cons

Extension requires a separate desktop app to function, limiting standalone use
Location spoofing persists even after disconnecting or turning off VPN, causing inaccurate location services and search results
Issues with Chrome location access when VPN is off but extension is enabled
Sometimes causes Wi-Fi disconnection when switching servers or disconnecting VPN
Does not work properly in certain regions like Russia

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
