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.

Unfortunately, as people said, the optimization is horrible. I've had no issues with it for a while, but then suddenly some websites are *extremely* slow (some even unusable, i.e, no ui elements register a response) using it, and firefox constantly tells me to disable surfshark to fix the issue.
