ZoneBlade vs CyberGhost

The short answer

Both are free in Chrome with no account and unlimited data, but ZoneBlade gives you more.

CyberGhost makes sense if you want its paid apps for your whole device.

Free in Chrome

CyberGhost's Chrome extension is free, needs no account and has no data cap, with 4 countries: the US, Germany, the Netherlands and Romania. ZoneBlade Free is the same deal with 6 countries, and Premium opens all 180.

CyberGhost's own store listing says the free extension doesn't protect against WebRTC leaks, which can give away your real IP address to sites. ZoneBlade blocks them.

A country in every tab

CyberGhost's extension sets one country for the whole browser. ZoneBlade's Each tab mode gives every Chrome tab group its own, each with its own cookies, so the same site can be open in two countries at once.

Privacy and upkeep

CyberGhost says it doesn't sell your data, and Deloitte has checked its no-logs policy three times. It's owned by Kape Technologies, which also owns ExpressVPN. Its extension was last updated in September 2025 and holds 2.2 stars in the Chrome Web Store.

ZoneBlade, run by a UK company, keeps no record of the sites you visit and counts only data used per device and country.

When CyberGhost is the better pick
