[Chrome Extension] Always on settings
I really like the convenience of having the chrome extension as an option instead of having to enable the whole computer VPN as it can cause issues for other services on the computer. However recently with the change to the extension to always have all options enabled at all times (with the exception of mace) that basically breaks 80% of the internet, and so far the only way around it is by disabling the extension, which is a real pain.
At first I thought I'm the only one experiencing it seeing as I don't really see any posts anywhere about it, but I've got a few family members who also use it and a few friends at work that I got to jump on board and they are also experiencing the same issue since the update.
So far support has basically said to disable features in the extension that cause issues or add them to the bypass list.
My first problem is no one I know has gotten the bypass list to work, for eg if I put "*.google.com" I still can't use google play.
Second problem is disabling security features seems like a bad approach...
TL;DR:
Anyone else experience this or just me and everyone I know?

TL;DR:
- Can we get an actual ON/OFF button for the extension like before?
- Disabling security settings isn't a good solution as suggested by support.
- Bypass list AFAIK doesn't actually work, and I don't want to bypass stuff when I actually want to use the VPN.
