There are many benefits to using the Windscribe browser extension alongside our desktop app. The extension has a ton of unique features that can supercharge your online privacy, like Language Warp (spoofs your default language), Time Warp (spoofs your time zone), Location Warp (spoofs your GPS coordinates), and Split Personality (rotates your User Agent information). Installing the extension is easier than refusing to watch Morbius, and we've created an animated video to make it even easier! You can also read the step-by-step instructions if that is more your style.

Step by Step Instructions
