| 2024-12-30 |  | | en | Will not allow access to iPlayer. Installation was a waste or time. These VPNs all claim that you can use iPlayer, but none of the ones free or you pay for give you access. BBC is not stupid. They look down the tunnel and see its a VPN and block you. |
| 2024-12-26 |  | | en | It took me some time to come to the conclusion that this extension is pretty much useless. It doesn't really conceal your location; it just creates a false sense of security. When I choose New York or Miami, some websites think I'm in a completely different country. I also discovered that when visiting a site that reveals your actual location, my complete real address, including building number and street, was displayed. Perhaps I am not utilizing Windscribe correctly, or maybe I need to pay to access its full benefits which I will NEVER do. |

| 2024-12-17 |  | | en | Used to be really good, but now it breaks captchas. I had to uninstall it. Windscribe support was all, "meh." Not impressed with their solutions, or lack thereof. |
| 2024-12-15 |  | | ru | Не открывает родной сайт, из-за чего нельзя зарегаться. Соответственно не работает. |
| 2024-12-13 |  | | ru | Блокирует доступ к своему сайту. Ну и зачем он тогда нужен вообще? |
| 2024-12-11 |  | | ru | Отстой, не работает! В бесплатной версии ограничение по объему. |
