As always, to further help the team by being adding useful value...

I dug deeper and found more registration free browser extension VPNs.
I've installed each of them but I haven't fully tested them yet.
It will take a while to come up with what is the "best" extension VPN.

Here's a quick off-the-cuff summary that saves others tons (and tons) 
of time digging up the URLs and running the rudimentary working tests.

These 8 installed directly into Brave (will move to Chromium later).
hidemevpn (this is the first one I had tested)
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hideme-proxy/ohjocgmpmlfahafbipehkhbaacoemojp>

urbanvpn (I'm currently testing this one now)
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/urban-vpn-proxy/eppiocemhmnlbhjplcgkofciiegomcon>

hiddenbatvpn
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hiddenbatvpn-no-sign-up/bbmdbddokjkdlcicblahoeofpjkbeneo>

xvpn
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/x-vpn-free-vpn-chrome-ext/flaeifplnkmoagonpbjmedjcadegiigl>

tunnelbearvpn
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tunnelbear-vpn/omdakjcmkglenbhjadbccaookpfjihpa>

vpnly
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/free-vpn-proxy-vpnly/lneaocagcijjdpkcabeanfpdbmapcjjg>

1clickvpn
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/1clickvpn-proxy-for-chrom/pphgdbgldlmicfdkhondlafkiomnelnk>

1vpn
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/free-vpn-proxy-1vpn/akcocjjpkmlniicdeemdceeajlmoabhg>

This one would only install into Edge & then into Brave. Go figure.
securefreeedgevpn
 <https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/secure-free-vpn-for-edge/mikenegoldghfdcmpchhobaabgkaikdj>

This has bandwidth limits for the no-registration VPN extension.
windscribe (note that the download is huge)
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/windscribe-free-proxy-and/hnmpcagpplmpfojmgmnngilcnanddlhb>

These fail for one reason or another & are not worth testing.
hotspotshield (not in chrome store anymore)
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hotspot-shield-free-vpn/likpkejjhpbpmejmejjcobcijcehbhjl>

itopvpn (was removed from the chrome store) 
 <https://chrome-stats.com/d/imikkmafgbjjghjeelijedabggogfdgo/download> 

protonvpn (Requres registration, so it fails the most basic test)
 <https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/proton-vpn-fast-secure/jplgfhpmjnbigmhklmmbgecoobifkmpa>

I first tested the Chromium Hide.ME VPN extension, but it's flaky.
So now I'm testing urbanvpn & I will try to test all those above.

The minimum criteria is that it works in Brave & Ungoogled Chromium
and that there is no registration and that it's free with no ads.

If you know of any VPN extensions I've missed, please let us all know.
The goal is to create our own DIY lightweight privacy browsers.
