## Review summary

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).
