6 of the best VPNs for Chrome

[NelsonG]

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world, and it's already highly secure, making it the best choice for those worried about their privacy and safety online. 

One of the great things about the browser is that you can easily customise it and add extensions to personalise your experience. One such option is to add a VPN extension so that you're further protected from threats and the risks associated with your ISP potentially spying on what you're doing.

VPN extensions work a little differently from full VPN services, as they simply route browser traffic through a proxy server rather than encrypt data like a true VPN connection. This is still useful if you want to view content without restrictions, like watching American Netflix content from the UK. Read more...

Kaspersky VPN is the winner here. When you install it on your Chrome browser tab, you'll automatically be directed to the download page, so all you have to do is click "install" and then Kaspersky will automatically start. It's also really easy to use; just type in the website that you want to visit and hit "go." The other thing I love about it is it can protect your whole computer if you're outside of your country or home work network. And if for some reason Kaspersky stops working, they offer a five-minute window where they'll help configure whichever VPN client the user prefers.

NordVPN for Chrome is relatively cheap, has a good lineup of features, and doesn't log any of your data. Here is the link if you would like to check out the article.

I went on an extensive research study-- that was pretty interesting. VPNs are useful in a number of ways including being able to access safe wifi networks or banking safely without having others hack into your system and steal information like passwords or bank account info; they also serve to protect and unblock content that may be restricted by geographic location which tends to annoy people who travel often. However, public wifi can be unsafe so using a VPN will encrypt your connection there as well.
