New permissions verbatim: "The developer says this extension collects: personally identifying information, financial and payment information." Wtf. I don't care if that's different wording of existing permissions, I don't want you to have those permissions, NordVPN.

If you look at the Proton VPN extension it only requires permissions for Access your data for account.proton.me and account.protonvpn.com. Whereas for Nord it's required to access all website data, not optional. If Nord needs to access data for account information, they should restrict it to Nord domain(s), rather than leaving it open for this extension to be able to read all website data. That seems like an implementation improvement they can make, rather than excuses.

NordVPN is pushing an update to force data harvesting including privacy data and payment information. Even from paying users like me!

Wtf is the new permission for ? Please provide a changelog or revert the changes now !

What the heck is that 🤨 ? Private data harvesting... for a privacy related product.

One could start think about if our data is actually private when using Nord products.

If this won't be reverted no way I'm gonna prolong subscription.

Edit: (forbidden URLs: look for ["Announcing data collection consent changes for new Firefox extensions" site:blog.mozilla.org] in search engine)- is what I assume is L.L. referring to.

I'd like to see explanation then why it was collected up until now, just simply policy was not requiring to explicitly be stated up until now.
Can this really, really cannot be avoided?

As other commenters mentioned, it started to force privacy data harvesting.

While a VPN advertises that you won’t be tracked online, now the VPN itself tracks your financial, payment, and personally identifying info. Brilliant scheme.

Latest update asked permissions to gather personal data and payment information, which is unacceptable for a VPN organization.

The latest update sneakily forces privacy data harvesting, including financial information, forms, and payment data. This is ridiculous and should be banned.

RE: Stop making this sound harmless. Firefox is clearly asking me to approve new required data collection before the extension can update. I cannot reject these permissions separately, so in practice I either accept the added privacy risk or I cannot install the update.

The warning explicitly mentions personally identifying information, financial and payment information, authentication information, and location. That is not just normal technical wording. If no new data collection was introduced, then explain exactly why Firefox now requires this new consent and why users are being forced to approve it. At the moment it looks like a serious privacy downgrade, and I am not comfortable accepting it.

Personally identifying information

Optional data collection, according to the developer:

Technical and interaction data

no free usage at all. i can't even try your vpn to see if it work in my country.

Completely useless. At some point during a long session, you might get logged out or the plugin might reset, and suddenly you’re browsing with your real IP address on all open tabs. Even the “KillSwitch” feature doesn’t deliver what it promises. Which is, of course, completely unacceptable if, for example, you want to run an anonymous X account.

Well i cant even use it...it needs an account amazing right.

"We couldn’t log you in. Please try again.". Reinstalling doesn't help

The "Access your data for all websites" is set as optional, but you can't use the addon without giving them full access to my data across all website? Shoddy practice. Be mindful of this guys.

The add-on slows down my browser enormously. When it's on, it takes 10 seconds for the page to load, without it, not a second. It wasn't like this before. I had tried everything and reset Firefox, but it turns out that the NordVPN add-on slows everything down. So no recommendation from me. With my regular Nord app/subscription, I have no problems.

It is not FREE VPN at all!!!! It's bull shit for free.
