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.

User reviews

Snowflake is praised for promoting internet freedom and aiding users in censored regions with minimal effort. However, it faces limitations such as incompatibility with Chromium browsers and Firefox mobile, and interference with Tor Browser. Users also want improved guidance on setup and usage conditions, including WebRTC enablement. Overall, it is considered a humane and essential tool for circumventing online censorship.
Pros
  • Supports internet freedom and helps bypass censorship.
  • Easy to use with minimal user effort.
  • Helps communication in regions with restricted internet access.
  • Seen as a humane and necessary project to defend against censorship.
Cons
  • Does not work on Chromium-based browsers, only Firefox.
  • Lacks compatibility with Firefox mobile version.
  • Interferes with Tor Browser operation when used simultaneously.
  • Needs better user guidance, such as informing about enabling WebRTC and proper usage recommendations.
