NordVPN browser extension: Release notes

• 

  We added a notification that spreads the word about how to stay even more secure with Threat Protection.

  Should you ever need to log out (no hard feelings, of course), we’ve made the experience simpler and cleaner. Just come back, okay?
• 

  The extension now opens where you last left off.
• 

  We believe reaching out should be effortless, so the “Contact us” section is now easier to use.
• 

  Fixed: We’re done with the bilingual challenges during login. Your chosen language now sticks through the whole login flow.
• 

  Fixed: A pesky bug was pretty much stopping the extension from working for some of you. We sent it to an unknown destination with a one-way ticket. Safe travels, bug!
• 

  Minor technical and security improvements are included to keep things running smoothly.

We’re elevating your online security one release at a time. This update comes with improvements and fixes for a top-notch NordVPN experience.

• 

  After a browser restart, there was no message to inform you about Kill Switch preventing you from opening a website without a VPN. Now we’ve fixed it, and the message is back.
• 

  Fixed: We’ve removed the culprit responsible for getting the extension stuck in the “offline” status longer than needed.

• 

  Navigation improvements in the country list and clearer “offline” status for a better app experience.

• 

  New: Kill Switch. Turn it on to block the browser from accessing the internet when not connected to a VPN.
• 

  Fixed: The scroll option went missing for notifications with extra content. It was lost, but now it’s found.
• 

  Fixed: We’ve noticed that a button in the connection card sometimes moves from its place. It’s all pixel-perfect again.

It’s lightweight, it’s secure, and it’s better than ever. We’ve redesigned the NordVPN browser extension from the ground up so that you can enjoy a more delightful experience and smoother performance. The key highlights:

• 

  Bottom navigation: It holds handy shortcuts to VPN, settings, help resources, and notifications.
• 

  Settings are split into three categories: “General,” “Connection,” and “Security and privacy.” That’s to save you time and clicks.
• 

  Dark mode: Now you can choose what makes your eyes happier!
• 

  Announcement area: That’s a dedicated space that will inform you about available updates and new features, give you tips on how to get the most out of the browser extension, and show offers you can benefit from.
