F-Secure: Total Security & VPN

F-Secure has blocked apps trying to sell my information, informed me of current data breaches from miscellaneous companies that would have been exposed to my information, but they were blocked. As someone that has their identity stolen in the past, I haven’t had a problem since using F-Secure with their original VPN protocol and now newly offered VPN protocols. They sort text messages from unknown callers and identify websites that have not been verified.

The new F-Secure is a total piece of garbage. It is a nightmare to share a subscription. It takes 2 hours just to struggle with a heavy process. The kill switch is broken. It sends you on a non protected 4G while it’s changing countries. Not a kill switch!!! A disaster. They used to have a simple big button with a nice design on Freedome VPN now they have a tiny switch that takes 2 screens and advertising for their services. F-Secure is an epic failure of design, ergonomy and security. Update: F-Secure has released a new version of their perfect ergonomic design Freedome App (vpn only). Maybe they should start over from this good ergonomic to reinvent their cumbersome F-Secure App. Update-2: Never put burden on your customers (especially ergonomics) in the promise of a better service. They will be gone before testing your promises. If you bury the old app, I will go. The competition imitated your original design!!!! Look at the new ExpressVPN. And you will abandon it? Just do what I say: add the new features in your original “big button” design. It is also a perfect sales pitch for your products and senior citizens can use your app.

This is a clean, fast browser. Smooth and pleasant to work with. Is especially impressive given the additional security that the browser provides from malware and intrusion online. Those few people who complain that they are still getting undesired pop-ups are almost certainly working on a computer that is already infected by some type of malware. This browser does not claim to do disinfection. Use an antivirus or an anti-malware program to do that. A feature I’d like to see added is to be able to open a link in a new window. I realize this product is still young, and hopefully they are still adding features.
