Review Summary
PureVPN's Chrome extension is praised for its competitive pricing, customer support, and ease of use, especially by long-term users. It effectively accesses geo-restricted content on streaming platforms. However, multiple users report frequent technical issues such as forced logouts, errors like "ERR TOO MANY RETRIES," and blocking essential browser functions. Subscription management is challenging due to automatic renewals and unclear cancellation processes. Some users emphasize inconsistent connection quality and concerns about deceptive billing practices. Overall, the extension has useful features but suffers from reliability and billing concerns that affect user experience.
