If you might like to try another browser, here is an article with a review of the Opera web browser. I have it installed, occasionally use Opera, and I like it fine, especially the free VPN feature. Having said that, though, I must admit I'm not fond of having Opera's server in China.
Remember, by using a VPN, your data is encrypted until it reaches the VPN's server, where it is unencrypted before it is sent on. How much do you trust the Chinese not to peek at your data? Of course, this is true for any VPN, so use your own judgement.
