Google Chrome now warns users about Hola’s malpractices
That Hola warning has been up there for ages. It’s not new.
Close this thread while you still can. The level of technical illiteracy will make you stupid.
in case someone wants to know what happens with your internet connection - it’s for sale here:
No, it doesn’t warn about Hola specifically. It’s a standard warning for all extensions that control proxy information in your browser. Same happens with e.g. FoxyProxy, where you have to configure proxy settings yourself.
Is Hola actually bad? I hadn’t heard that.
No, OP. It specifically doesn’t
I’ve seen that on Netflix in Chrome as well but not using Hola (not even installed).
So i should stop using Hola then? what are some other free vpns?
Do people seriously not understand what a peer-to-peer network actually entails?
I’ve never heard of Hola, but I use a different one called ZenMate and it gives the same warning.
Chrome warns for every extension that controls your Internet connection settings. So all VPN / Proxy extensions. It’s a completely reasonable warning for what the extensions (are supposed to) do.
So… I use Hola on my phone for Netflix. Should I switch? Can’t find any other app like it…
I get the same warning when using Switchy.
Let’s say I have Hola installed, but I have it turned off 99% of the time. Am I used as an exit node even if it’s turned off, or only when I decide to turn it on?
One botnet warning about another botnet, we’re through the looking glass here people.
How the hell Hola is still in Google Play? Why is not removed?
I just dropped in to point out that horrible use of the term malpractice. I was wondering how Google could get involved with a Clinic or Hospital, but to find out it was neither of those things or anything related to treatment.
I honestly don’t know why people just don’t pay for something like Nord. It doesn’t exactly break the bank and you can even use it on your mobile too.
