UProxy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
uProxy is an extension for the Chrome and Firefox web browsers which allows users to access the Internet via a web proxy. The extension works by enabling a user to share their Internet connection with someone else. Google Ideas provided funding for the development which was carried out by the University of Washington and Brave New Software.[1] The extension is intended to allow users in repressive regimes to access the Internet without being monitored.[2]
