Private Internet Access for Chrome lets you use a virtual private network (VPN) service on an Android device. With a VPN, you no longer need to worry about location services blocking you from certain sites or limiting what you can do. You get the anonymous access that you need to visit your favorite sites and use different apps. It even works with streaming apps that determine what you can watch where you live.

Designed to work with Google Chrome, the app adds to your overall safety. It blocks outside threats, including those that you find on public and open networks. You can search through open gateways to choose the safest options and see which ones were open for longer. It has a built-in whitelist that lets you add your favorite domains to reach them in minutes and options that let you quickly set up downloads that won't affect your device.

Suitable for use on phones and other Android devices, Private Internet Access for Chrome will not work with other internet browsers that you want to use. Some less experienced users may find that the app is confusing to use, especially when it comes to adding their favorite sites. You also need to pay a fee to use the app, which might not fit in your budget. If you want an easy way to access sites and stay safe while using a VPN, Private Internet Access for Chrome is one of the best apps for your Android device.
