Snowflake Browser Extension

Abstract:

Snowflake is a tool developed by the Tor foundation which allow internet users in countries with high-bandwidth and (relative) internet freedom to allow their browsers to serve as proxies for users in countries with internet censorship. It is primarily used for allowing access to Tor, which anonymizes users’ traffic, and allows them to bypass their countries’ firewalls. This tool is crucial for promoting freedom around the world, and only works effectively if many volunteers are running this software on their browsers around the world, so please install it and start promoting internet freedom!
