The good:
* Easy-to-use proxy, just works, even with programs besides browsers. Far easier to setup than Tor.
* Quite fast, especially compared to Tor.
* No apparent bandwidth quota or limit. Allows you to download at least a few GBs.
The bad:
* Embeds annoying video ads with sounds on pages. (get an adblocker)
* Occasionally redirects you to its own page stuffed with ads. You lose the link you originally wanted to go to.
* Tries to install browser toolbar adware. (can be disabled)
* Has a tray icon with connect/disconnect options, but using them throws up a new browser window. Annoying and unnecessary.
* No SSL/HTTPS support.
* Annoying bubble popups from tray if you keep it disabled.
Conclusion:
Useful when you need to get around censorship. Obviously will not give you any privacy, in fact from a privacy standpoint you are probably better off not using a proxy at all. Anyhow, if you are concerned about that, just use Tor.
