Surfshark VPN Extension Extension

The Surfshark VPN browser extension for Chrome uses a secure proxy to allow seamless web browsing, unrestricted internet access, and 24/7 online protection.

With our Chrome extension, you can stream global content safely. Our strict no-logs policy and vast server infrastructure ensure your security while providing lightning-fast speeds!
Why you should try the Surfshark browser extension:

✔️ VAST SERVER INFRASTRUCTURE:
Our network is safe and fast with 100+ locations and 3200+ servers supporting 10 GBit connection and versatile protocols, including WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2!

✔️ SINGLE ACCOUNT, UNLIMITED DEVICES:
Your Surfshark VPN works on an unlimited number of devices simultaneously. Protect your entire household with our browser extensions and apps on mobile, desktop, TVs, and more!

✔️ INDEPENDENTLY AUDITED:
Surfshark is one of the few VPN providers that has been independently audited. Cure53 approved our server infrastructure, while Deloitte verified our no-logs statement.

✔️ STRICT NO-LOGS POLICY:
We don't track what you do or where you go connected to our VPN. Our no-activity-logs policy is independently audited and approved by a third-party auditing firm.

✔️ NEW IDENTITY WITH ALTERNATIVE ID:
Generate a brand-new online profile with a real address and an email using our Alternative ID tool. Use it to keep your true identity under wraps on websites you don’t fully trust.

✔️ FREE WEB ACCESS:
We believe the internet should be limitless and border-free. With our extension, you can safely access global content and apps.

✔️ ROBUST PRIVACY MEASURES:
Our VPN connections are encrypted with industry-leading AES-256-GCM encryption. It ensures your data is secure and protected from cyberthreats, making your online presence private.

✔️ COOKIE POP-UP BLOCKER:
Cookie consent pop-ups are annoying. But our browser extension will sort them out before they appear on your screen. We automatically decline or accept the necessary ones.

✔️ ADS & TRACKERS BLOCKER:
Say goodbye to online ads and trackers with our CleanWeb feature. Our browser extension’s built-in ad blocker keeps your surfing squeaky clean!

✔️ MALWARE ALERT & BLOCKER:
CleanWeb works in the background and alerts you about malware-infected websites. It blocks threats before they can load and affect your device.

✔️ WEBSITE BYPASSER:
Sometimes you may want to access a website without a VPN, and we've got you covered! With Bypasser, you can choose which websites or IP addresses will use VPN and which won't.

✔️ DATA BREACH ALERT:
Everyone should know if the website they're visiting has been subject to a data breach. Our extension notifies you about all data leaks the website has suffered.

✔️ SAFE SEARCH FEATURE:
Our Search feature lets you ask questions without being tracked, monitored, or logged. It's a purely private search built right into the extension.

✔️ 24/7 CUSTOMER SUPPORT:
We are always ready to assist you with any questions you may have. We aim to resolve issues quickly and efficiently via live chat or email.
