Browser plugin or native application

Just wanted some thoughts on what people run while using surfshark? do you run the browser plugin or the native app on windows/macos/linux?

Any thoughts if one is better to use? I mean, i dont download anything from my PC. I have a server that handles all of that. So i am asking without that on the table.

Thanks in advance, and curious

Browser extension ( Only a Proxy not a real VPN ) for Quick country swapping in the browser.

VPN ( Application ) for real safety and encryption.

Browser proxy is really good.
