Browsec for chrome mac install#
We’d still love to see an independent report published on what information is and isn’t logged, as some of competitors have already done.īrowsec is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices, for which it has mobile apps and browser extensions you can install via Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge.Īt the time of writing, its Chrome extension had been installed by more than 4 million users and 24,993 of them have given it an average of 4.5 stars (out of 5). Browsec uses such information in the aggregate for various purposes, including the monitoring of the service”. However, as the provider assures us, “the information does not identify the user personally.

This includes the automatic recording of “some information from your web browser additional/or client software”, to provide the continuous delivery of its services. The Privacy Policy isn’t a long document, but it does let the reader know what type of information is logged when using the provider’s services. Despite these strong security and privacy mechanisms, torrenting isn’t supported as Browsec currently operates via browser extensions and mobile apps only. To protect your online privacy, Browsec deploys IPSec/IKEv2 connection protocol with AES-256 encryption on mobile and HTTP Proxy over TLS with AES-256 encryption when using its browser extensions. The provider is headquartered in Russia and offers access to 1,000+ servers in 40+ countries, including Australia, Iceland, India and many others.

Since this is one of the reasons why many VPN users seek out a service such as this one, this gives Browsec additional points in our book. Even though this isn’t explicitly stated on the website, our experience has shown that Browsec VPN can unblock geographically restricted content on Netflix (UK and US) and BBC iPlayer.
