What are VPN extensions for Chrome?

The NordVPN browser extension for Chrome is a VPN proxy that secures your browser’s internet traffic and changes your IP. Its split tunneling feature lets you choose which websites to secure and which to leave out. The Threat Protection Lite feature blocks intrusive ads and dangerous websites. However, the Chrome extension shields the internet traffic on your browser only. Download the NordVPN app directly onto your device to protect other online activities.

The best VPN is a fast VPN, so make sure it has fast connection speeds.
Make sure it includes ad-blocking and malicious website blocking functions — avoiding dangerous websites is one of the best ways to protect your data.
The best VPN extensions come from reliable providers that offer a multitude of servers, unlimited bandwidth, robust encryption, and quality customer support.
