User reviews
Users appreciate that the extension enables Tor anonymity within Chrome and works smoothly when properly set up. Many thank the developer for this useful tool that offers better speed than the Tor Browser. However, setup can be complicated, requiring manual configuration and knowledge of TorBundle paths. Several users reported that the extension sometimes fails to hide their real IP or stops functioning after a period. Compatibility issues were noted on some devices, and a lack of tutorials in other languages adds to the difficulty for some users.
