Proton has released a Proton VPN browser extension compatible with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera, and most other popular browsers except for Safari. The company said in a support document that Safari “doesn’t support the tools needed to create a VPN tunnel.” It works the same as most other VPN extensions — starting it will route your browser’s internet connection through external VPN servers. If you want all your internet activity to go through Proton VPN, such as connections from other desktop applications and games, you still have to use the desktop client.
This is actually quite useful as sometimes you just want the browser (or one browser) to go through the VPN, and leave your other streaming, video conferencing, or OS updates running normally).
That said, it does mean that everything on the computer is not being funnelled through the VPN, it is also not full-featured, and also you do need to have a paid ProtonVPN account.
