en | This is one of the simplest things you can do to help fight censorship and uphold the right to privacy. Some regimes are more oppressive than others, but all will have their authoritarian moment. Thus, we must build resilient systems. This extension is a key component to that resilience. You can just install Snowflake and forget it. Snowflake uses a share of your unused bandwidth to create an encrypted onramp for others to access the TOR network without detection. TOR enables journalists, activists, and everyday citizens to browse freely and anonymously. The TOR Project develops Snowflake to ensure no privacy tradeoffs. I haven't experienced any performance impact. |

I have finally identified this extension as the cause of some serious performance issues that my computer was having. Massive, excessing hard drive activity, dragging everything else down. The intent is good, but not worth the adverse effect on my computer's performance. | |
