NordVPN extension can be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store, and it will appear next to other Chrome extensions. Additionally, it blocks annoying pop-ups, auto-play ads and other advertisement material. When enabled, it protects a user from malware and other cyber threats that lurk online waiting to infect anyone’s device.
The CyberSec feature is also available in the NordVPN extension for Chrome. The NordVPN extension allows disabling Chrome’s default WebRTC protocol, this way ensuring that one’s online identity stays hidden at all times, no matter what. All sensitive data, including passwords of all accounts, credit card details and even a user’s current location may be visible to snoopers and nefarious users. Even with a VPN, there’s still a chance to experience WebRTC leaks in the browser, which may reveal a user’s original IP address. When the NordVPN extension is enabled, it encrypts the browser’s traffic, and the surfing becomes safe and private. Many popular websites, including CNN, BBC, IMDb, still don’t offer HTTPS encryption meaning that snoopers can see anyone’s online activity. The new lightweight extension for Chrome will help to safely access anyone’s favorite sites even if they are not protected by HTTPS. Once a user connects to one of the remote encrypted proxy servers, their online activities are encrypted, and their Chrome browser is assigned with the IP address of that particular server making it look like they are in another country. NordVPN encrypts Internet traffic and hides a user’s actual IP address. The Chrome extension provides these benefits: The new proxy extension is extremely light and fast so users can switch between locations with one click. From now on all Google Chrome users will be able to secure their online activities, hide your IP address and safely access their favorite websites.
NordVPN has just launched another digital security tool: a proxy extension for Google Chrome. As VPNs are growing in popularity, many providers are launching user-friendly features and extensions to make their more tools accessible to anyone willing to protect their online privacy.
