went through all the steps to get it to work, made an account, whatever– and when i opened the extension to turn it on, all the countries are grayed out and the only button available is one telling me to upgrade my plan. i got this extension because it was supposed to be free. clearly, it is not. incredibly disappointed.

Having to occassionaly enter my Proton username and password at random times, which renders Firefox unusable until I enter that Proton log in information, is extremely annoying.

And btw, for some reason my Proton log in didn't work for this extension (I use a password manager, so not only do I know my log in info is correct, I was able to log into my Proton account via the Proton website).

I had to close Firefox and disable this extension.

RIDICULOUS decision.
A free addon for paying users.
Who on freaking earth, heaven and hell came up with this amusing idea?
And they don't even write it clearly in the short description right next to "add to firefox", which is as far as most of us go when downloading something with a good reputation.

Seriously, who can be so greedy and mean to make such an addon only available to paying users?
Another famous VPN also offers 10GB free monthly and they offer an addon for everybody.
It totally makes sense.
There are already enough downsides with the free account. Let people use the app, so they can see if they like it. Not everybody wants a system wide VPN!

So not customer friendly.
And their people in Reddit even removed my post when I was asking about this.
I swear I will never pay for anything Proton now. EVER.

Can't be used with free account.

Поменяйте зеркала для логина, а то в расширение даже не зайти без ВПНа

В браузере только платно? Ничего не понимаю...

Is it paid in the browser only? I don't understand anything...

必须付费才能用，免费套餐的赶紧润/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

You have to pay to use the browser extension.

I would much rather just use the extension than be forced to install a program.

Have spent about 15 min figuring out why no servers are available on Firefox extension > only to find out that they dont offer it for free on Firefox. You can give it a try on Android instead. Really useless and wasting time if you want to use it on Firefox. They should have at least mentioned it explicitly.

I might be inclined to pay for Proton Plus if I could test the VPN extension. But I'm not going to pay for something that I cannot test.

I wouldn't waste my time installing this extension if it mentioned that it needs paying

Cannot use the extension without paying

Абсолютно не работает в бесплатной версии. Зачем обманывать людей! Зря только время потерял на установку на Arch Linux и на расширение.

Aucune possibilité de connexion sans abonnement payant alors que l'app Android / Mac/Windows propose des serveurs gratuits .

This is my first addon review ever.

I give it 1 star, because at the current time it has no use for me. It's paid. You get nothing free. I suggest to make it at least 10 minutes/ 1 hours a day free vpn.

If you add free stuff, I will edit my review

Hello, I thought Proton VPN was a libertarian socialist, I wouldn't have expected it to make an add-on for paid users.
