I've mentioned the Opera browser before. I like their built in ad blocker. It's as fast as chrome and not as quirky as Firefox imo. They have released a new version with a free unlimited built in VPN.

The side effect of enabling the VPN service is that users can access content flowing from foreign countries that was previously blocked. For example, users residing outside the United States can connect to the U.S.-based server and watch movies and TV shows on Netflix and Hulu that aren’t available in their country. That’s because websites and services only see the internet address that the server assigns to the user’s connection, not the user’s actual address supplied by their internet service provider.

Opera’s VPN feature originally made its debut in the desktop developer version back in April. However, the fine print in the VPN settings state that the “secure proxy” is provided by SurfEasy. That fine print has led to the argument that Opera’s new service isn’t a VPN at all, but a proxy service. The difference is that a VPN server encrypts all data passed between it and the user no matter the application while a proxy server only secures traffic between it and the Opera browser.
