Download Install Compare

Snowflake is a Chrome extension designed to help people in censored countries access the Internet freely by bypassing censorship. Once installed and enabled, the extension activates automatically, indicated by the snowflake icon turning green. This shows that a censored user is successfully connecting through your browser to access the web without restrictions.

Your privacy is protected as the connection's visible IP comes from the censored user's Tor exit node, not yours. If you're in a censored country, you can also use Snowflake directly via apps like Tor Browser, Onion Browser, or Orbot. Support is available through Telegram, email, and the Tor Project's support portal and forum.

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.

Snowflake does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

    Snowflake is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
