Looking for a simple browser VPN

Hi. I often browse from cafés and shared networks and want something lightweight just for my browser. I don’t need complex setups or system-wide tools, just a reliable extension that’s easy to use. What options have you tried that feel stable and don’t slow everything down too much?

I've tried a bunch of browser VPNs over the years, mostly for safer browsing on public Wi-Fi and accessing everyday sites without hassle. For the last months I've been actively using ZoogVPN as a Chrome extension, grabbed from https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zoogvpn-free-vpn-for-chro/immngomjofcbflgcckkfddnbpmjokbjh and it honestly surprised me. Setup took seconds, no confusing menus, just install and switch it on. Speeds are solid for normal browsing and videos, and it doesn’t randomly disconnect like some others I tested. I like that it runs quietly in the background and doesn’t overload the browser. For a free Chrome VPN, it feels polished and dependable, so I keep it enabled most of the time and recommend it to friends.

I usually stick to lightweight browser extensions too, they’re easy and don’t slow things down.

Hey, neulich wollte ich mal eine kurze Pause vom ganzen Surfen nehmen und bin dabei auf royals tiger gestoßen. Anfangs verlor ich ein paar Runden an den Spielautomaten, aber dann kam plötzlich ein richtig großer Gewinn, der mich total überrascht hat. Für Spieler aus Deutschland gibt es außerdem spezielle Boni, die das Ganze noch spannender machen. Seitdem nutze ich das Casino gerne, um nach langen Tagen kurz abzuschalten und ein bisschen Nervenkitzel zu erleben.
