I think Opera also has a built-in VPN. I heard VPN can make web browsing slightly slower.

I think Chrome has a data saver feature which claim to help you save data by compressing images to a lower resolution.

Depending on the settings it can also cause the internet to drop and become unusable, something bad if you're downloading or streaming.

I feel software bugs in VPN apps can also cause problems for slower smartphones and PCs.

I don't think they load too heavily onto a machine, but it can mess with an internet adapter easily.

Does it mess with both Wi-fi and ethernet/wired?

it will mess up with whatever is being used, at least it used to back in the day. It's why most VPNs come with a kill switch for the internet.

I wonder how successful the VPN built into web browsers would be.
