ExpressVPN is a market leader in the VPN world<\/a>. Boasting a 3,000-strong server network spread across 160 locations in 94 states, a strict no-logs policy, and the fact that it\u2019s headquartered in the British Virgin Islands (away from intrusive privacy laws) only serve to increase this VPN\u2019s popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019ll show you how to install ExpressVPN on Chrome and how to utilize the various features of this VPN Chrome extension. If you don\u2019t already have Express VPN, you can now\u00a0get the annual subscription with 3 extra months\u00a0for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ExpressVPN Platform Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diverse compatibility is one of ExpressVPN\u2019s standout features. Besides extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, ExpressVPN also has downloadable clients for practically any device. This includes smartphones, tablets, TVs, routers, PCs\/laptops, Chromebooks<\/a>, gaming consoles, and more. This allows you to keep multiple devices protected at the same time. Protecting your primary device – your PC or laptop, probably – is crucial, but leaving your other devices without a VPN creates vulnerabilities, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some users might assume that the ExpressVPN Chrome extension is free to use. After all, some VPN services, like HotSpot Shield, do offer their browser extension for Chrome gratis. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no ExpressVPN free extension, as the add-on is only available to paying customers. ExpressVPN does not offer a free tier of service for its desktop app either, but you do get a 30-day money-back guarantee, which provides you with more than enough time to test the service properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you opted to subscribe, we\u2019re here to help you successfully install and then use this VPN\u2019s Chrome extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing the ExpressVPN Extension for Chrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Subscribe to an ExpressVPN Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you can enjoy the perks of ExpressVPN\u2019s browser protection, you have to subscribe to its service. Navigate to their plan selection page and pick the one that suits you the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Log In to Your ExpressVPN Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The next step to get the VPN for Chrome extension is logging in to your ExpressVPN account. Click the \u201cMy Account\u201d button on ExpressVPN\u2019s website and type in your credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Locate the Chrome Add-On<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To use the ExpressVPN Chrome add-on, once you\u2019ve logged in with your new or existing account, click the \u201cSet Up on More Devices\u201d button. First, you\u2019ll need to download the desktop app, even if you have no intention of using it. Download and install the ExpressVPN client for the OS you have. After that\u2019s done, fire up the app and click the \u201cVPN for Chrome\u201d button, listed under \u201cBrowsers,\u201d then click the \u201cGet Extension\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Install the Chrome Extension<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you complete the previous step, you\u2019ll be presented with a blue \u201cQuick Install\u201d button. Press it, and Chrome will ask you whether you want to add the ExpressVPN for Chrome extension. This is no different than the usual process of installing extensions. Click the \u201cAdd Extension\u201d button on the pop-up, and voila! – your VPN for Chrome is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does the ExpressVPN Extension Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be wondering what this browser extension actually does, especially since you first have to download the desktop app. Thankfully, it\u2019s quite helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, it lets you remotely control the VPN desktop app from your browser. You can easily connect\/disconnect, change locations or servers, and fine-tune other vital settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the ExpressVPN Google Chrome add-on spoofs your HTML5 geolocation, hiding your real location from any websites or trackers online. On top of that, the extension guarantees that you\u2019re accessing the encrypted HTTPS version of the sites you visit whenever possible. The extension also comes with the WebRTC blocker, which prevents this API from leaking your IP address on the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, it solves a multitude of Chrome\u2019s privacy vulnerability issues – especially those stemming from the use of other extensions and add-ons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
