X-VPN Android APP vs Chrome Extension

X-VPN Android app can protect all internet traffic on your Chromebook, while X-VPN Chrome Extension uses encrypted proxies that only protect activity occurring on your Chrome browser, leaving other apps running on your Chromebook unsheltered.

While the X-VPN Google Extension isn't as comprehensive as the VPN app, it only slightly affects the speed of the internet activity in Chrome and doesn't cause delays in other apps, making it ideal for users who only need to secure the privacy of their browsers.
