NordVPN browser extension release notes

NordVPN 4.7

  • This update brings a few security improvements.

  • We’ve also addressed potential vulnerabilities in Location spoofing.

NordVPN 4.6

  • The app is rocking fresh blue shades.

  • Can’t add a file to import settings? Can’t find the tip for how to fix it? Maybe we should stop asking questions and just admit we hid it too well. The tip is to open the extension in a new tab, and the link button is now easier to spot.

  • We’ve reworked how we pick recommended servers to make your connections smoother.

  • A few technical and security tweaks, quietly doing their thing.

NordVPN 4.5

  • 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.

NordVPN 4.4

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

NordVPN 4.2-4.3

  • ¡Hola! Ciao! The extension is now fluent in Spanish and Italian.

  • Did you know you can restore your extension settings after logouts? Just head to “Settings” > “General” and export your extension preferences to a file. You can import them just as easily.

  • A new grant permissions screen has landed. We promise to ask only for the essentials to keep your browsing safe.

  • The reconnect process has become smoother – no more bumps on your digital road.

NordVPN 4.1

Nothing to report this time, at least nothing you can see. But rest assured — we’re working hard behind the scenes to keep your NordVPN app running smoothly.

NordVPN 4.0

  • We’ve completely rebuilt our browser extension to meet the latest and greatest standards. With us, your browsing is not just safe but cutting-edge safe.

  • Your path to support just got less winding. Simply head to the “Get help” tab and hit “Go to Support Center.” Browse articles or chat with our customer care heroes – all on one page.

NordVPN 3.10.1

(Chrome, Edge, Firefox)

  • Minor fixes and improvements here and there.

(Firefox)

  • Right after installing our extension, you’ll see a new consent form. It’s all about letting you choose what data you’re comfortable sharing. You can always change your preferences in the settings.

NordVPN 3.10

  • Refer a friend: Know someone who’s not using NordVPN for online protection yet? Invite them to sign up with your unique referral link, and get 3 months free. The more friends you refer to, the more free months of service you get to enjoy!

  • A bunch of minor fixes and improvements for a smoother NordVPN experience.

NordVPN 3.9

  • Logging out and logging back in to the extension no longer resets your settings.

  • A bunch of minor fixes and improvements for a smoother NordVPN experience.

NordVPN 3.8

  • New: Location spoofing. Now you can set your browser to use the location and time zone of a proxy server you’re connected to.

  • A bunch of pesky bugs won’t be bugging you anymore.

NordVPN 3.7

Knock knock! Who’s there? It’s just us trying to make your NordVPN experience better than ever. This time, the app update comes with under-the-hood tweaks and minor bug fixes.

NordVPN 3.6

  • 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.

NordVPN 3.5

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

NordVPN 3.4

  • 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.

NordVPN 3.0

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.
