Cool uninstall feature. Very interesting indeed. A plus from my side, they are very smart.

I guess the op is asking because of the "F** You" option

Ha. Missed that. Quite unprofessional. And the snide video... What are these guys thinking?

Maybe they wanted to be friendly but reading at the bottom of the form, I think they are just pathetic.

LOL, i uninstalled mine last week and shut the feedback page down so quick that i didn't even notice that. I do agree with @Telos that it is very unprofessional even though i found it quite amusing on first glance, it doesn't say much about the type of customer they believe they have.

Just don't change the language to English(NSFW) on the Windscribe app for desktop. It gets a lot worse than the bit at the bottom of the uninstall page.

I like Windscribe it's just a bit of fun imho.

Eh. I think the founder of Windscribe is very aware of his main demographic which are probably younger people and millennials. Just like Malwarebytes with their cute robots which looks like a website promoting a video game. There is an increasing group of people who actually like this type of sassy marketing because it reminds them that there are humans who are behind these brands that are just like you and me as opposed to services that take themselves too seriously.

For those using Windscribe, change the language to English (NSFW).

Yes windscribe likes to take a different approach to things ; not take life and things seriously like other companies , the like adding loads of pun and humor in their products and like this uninstall feedback , which makes them unique ( and harmless) I for one like their approach on things! ( the crack me up most of the time! )

A concern is when this attitude spills over to service quality and security. Getting aorund geo-blocks is far differnet that trusting on a service that maintains strict anonymity and does not simply replace your ISP's tracking with another.

Time will tell.

Still getting used to this site. Only need VPN security on a guest Wi-fi hotel and café, for my computer at home it does not need a VPN, that's just stupid.

I use a VPN at home, I don't find it stupid.

I thought they said the bad words to you. Then I would've thought it to be unprofessional and demeaning.
