Easily browse desired websites with tor (onion) proxy!

Browse with Onion is a lightweight Chrome extension that lets you route traffic for selected websites through the Tor network effortlessly. Instead of routing your entire browsing activity, this add-on only tunnels specified domains via the Tor proxy, enhancing privacy selectively.

To use this extension, your computer (PC or Mac) must be connected to the Tor network. A separate patch is available on GitHub to facilitate the connection process. Users can add multiple domains in the extension's popup interface to determine which sites should be routed through Tor. All other domains remain unaffected, ensuring a balance between privacy and performance.

This extension is ideal for users seeking selective anonymity without the overhead of a full Tor browser. Feature requests and bug reports can be submitted through the add-on's homepage, ensuring continuous improvements.

Extension safety

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.

Browse with Onion requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

Browse with Onion may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
