UProxy
View on WikipediauProxy was an extension for Chrome and Firefox,[1] which allowed users to access the Internet via a web proxy. This project has been superseded by Snowflake (software).[2][3] The extension works by enabling a user to share their Internet connection with someone else.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[4] — the same organization behind the anti-censorship tool Lantern.[5] The extension is intended to allow users to get more secure access to the Internet without being monitored.[6] It is free/libre software under Apache license 2.0.[7] The software has been discontinued, stating on their website " uProxy was an open source project led by the University of Washington and seeded by Jigsaw. Although the project is no longer supported, the code is still available on GitHub."
