User Reviews

User feedback consistently highlights Surfshark VPN Extension as generally reliable and offering good value for money. The standout pro is its Bypasser feature, which helps access sites or services blocked by VPNs or country restrictions. Users also report smooth performance across tests and positive experiences with support and configurability. A notable drawback is that the extension requires registration and, in some cases, the use of another VPN to enable it, which can be a hurdle for new users.

Pros

Reliable and generally problem-free performance (fast and stable).
Good value for money with feature-rich options.
Useful bypass feature (Bypasser) to access sites blocked by VPNs or country restrictions.

Cons

Requires registration and, in some cases, using another VPN to enable the extension, which can be a hurdle for new users.

Most IP addresses are blocked by major websites, and the service is also very slow. Don’t pay for a subscription until they fix these issues. It was an excellent product 4–5 years ago
