Review Summary

Users appreciate the extension for effectively bypassing censorship quickly and quietly, often outperforming VPNs and requiring little user intervention. However, a significant number of reviews report frequent interruptions, with the extension sometimes ceasing to work altogether, especially on popular sites like YouTube. Many users found that changing DNS settings to Google DNS helped restore functionality. Performance inconsistencies are common, and the extension sometimes runs slowly or fails in certain browsers, indicating reliability issues that affect the overall user experience.
