User reviews

Stealthy is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to unblock geo-restricted websites and content, with both free and paid versions. Users appreciate its simplicity and occasional effectiveness in accessing sites like Reddit and YouTube. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues including slow or inconsistent connection speeds, frequent crashes, unreliable performance, and poor customer support—especially around subscription management. Some users consider the extension practically unusable, while others find it a convenient tool when operational.

Good extension. I can't speak about pro, but for the free version, it does what you need it to. I can unblock websites like reddit and then turn it off when I don't need to use reddit. Though it does make literally every other website extremely slow when on.

Хоть сайты и открывает, но работает с перебоями. Пару минут работает, потом виснет, снова работает, и так далее... И так постоянно, независимо от дня недели и времени суток. Однако на текущий момент многие VPN аналоги активно блокируются Роскомнадзором, поэтому на безрыбье, как говорится...

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Stealthy requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension.
