User reviews

Users report that Stealthy sometimes successfully bypasses web restrictions and is easy to use, with light resource usage. However, many experience unstable performance with frequent crashes requiring reinstall, very poor speeds, and times when the extension fails to connect entirely. Customer support is described as unresponsive or non-existent, especially regarding subscription cancellation. Several users feel the free version is ineffective and that functionality has degraded unless paying for the pro version, leading to frustration and distrust.
Pros

  • Extension often does not work at all or fails to connect leading to timeouts.
  • Many users feel it no longer works unless you pay for the pro version, with free version largely ineffective.
