Features & Capabilities

AnonymoX is an initiative for anonymization on the internet. The aim is to restore the users right of anonymity in the web. Most websites monitor the behaviour of their users, giving the websites hosts the ability to analyze the general users behaviour and create detailed user profiles, which are frequently sold to third parties.

anonymoX enables you to... Browse the web anonymously Change your IP address (to one provided by us) Visit blocked/censored websites Appear to originate from another country Delete cookies, show your public ip, change browser id, ....

Short summary of its functionality Instead of accessing a website directly, it will be first opened by one of our servers, called a Proxy. This Proxy hides your true internet identity and makes it look as if not you, but the Proxy is currently visiting the website.

anonymoX is more than just an Add-On. The actual anonymization and country faking is done by an anonymization network. It consists of many servers, in every country of your country list. These servers are provided and managed by us. If you use anonymoX's anonymization network without paying, that is only possible because you indirectly participate in the server funding by viewing advertisements.

For ad-free and unrestricted usage of the anonymization network and the Add-On, you need anonymoX Premium.

Please note our Guideline for proper use, https://www.anonymox.net/en/guideline-for-proper-use-firefox if correct functionality and anonymity is very important to you.

User Reviews

Users like anonymoX for enabling access to blocked content and general browsing, but multiple reviewers report slow speeds (poor video), media/images failing to load on certain sites, and a controversial SafeShop feature that alters search results and appears like adware/spyware. Occasional instability is also mentioned.
Pros
  • Effectively bypasses some regional blocks — users report it lets them access sites that would otherwise be unavailable.
  • Generally works and is praised by multiple users as a useful, practical add-on.
  • Good for casual browsing/reading (text-based content) rather than heavy media streaming.
Cons
  • Slow/limited speed — many users report buffering and poor video playback.
  • Images or media fail to load on some sites (examples cited: DeviantArt, Itch.io; YouTube/Discord video may not work).
  • Recently added "SafeShop" feature is widely criticized — it alters search results, appears ad/spyware-like and cannot be disabled.
  • Occasional instability or failures reported (some users say it stopped working suddenly).

Doesn't work with FoxyProxy.

Россия. 15.09.25: С помощью этого расширения какая-то часть интернета всё же открывается, но не всё (YouTube с Discord'ом не посмотришь, конечно, но ArtStation (в отличие от DeviantArt'а) работает (картинки видно). DeviantArt открывается, но изображения не видно. Itch.io тоже открывается и работает, но изображений тоже не видно. Отдельно какие-то разбросанные хаотичные мысли вызывает сайт расширения (он полурабочий), что наводит на недобрые подозрения.

Is anonymoX Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

anonymoX requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

anonymoX has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
