Is NordLayer Browser Extension safe?
NordLayer Browser Extension routes browser HTTPS traffic through the selected NordLayer proxy after you connect.
When gateway mode is on, Chrome sends browser HTTPS requests through a configured NordLayer gateway, exposing request URLs, headers, and your IP address to that proxy path. The extension also supplies stored proxy credentials when Chrome receives an authentication challenge from the current NordLayer gateway.
