What it does
Browsec offers browser extensions, desktop and mobile clients, with per-site rules and a no-account free starting option.
Browsec distinguishes its extension from its Premium desktop apps. The extension covers browser traffic and offers Smart Settings for per-site routing; the desktop app can cover all apps or a more selective route, but requires a paid Premium subscription. Choose that scope first, especially if an application outside the browser needs the connection.
The free offer is available in the browser and on phones without an account, with unlimited traffic and a smaller location selection. That free access does not include the desktop app. Compare the app and extension feature lists before choosing paid access.
Browsec's deletion process removes the email link and custom settings but keeps anonymized device-activity and consent records, according to its policy. Account deletion cancels subscriptions made on the website or Google Play; an App Store subscription must be canceled separately. Its policy also permits disclosure required by law. These account and operational records are distinct from the choice of free browser coverage or a paid desktop connection.
