Bypassing internet censorship in Russia is not a crime yet.

WE DON'T BYPASS YOUTUBE SLOWDOWN!

With any problem contact us: https://groups.google.com/g/anticensority. Version for slow machines: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gnknjnebjldmkpmlhjipalimhjofpgho.

This extension allows bypassing censorship of Russian government (sites blocked by RosKomNadzor, RKN), giving you access to libraries, encyclopedias, oppositional political sites, and to innocent sites blocked to many reasons.

It proxies only blocked sites from the registry, leaving all other sites intact.

A shortcoming: CPU works a little longer for each browser HTTP-request.
