The Proton VPN Browser Extension repository houses the code for an official browser extension that lets users quickly secure their web browsing traffic through ProtonVPN from within browsers like Firefox and Chrome without routing all system traffic. This extension provides users with a convenient way to encrypt and anonymize HTTP requests, hide IP addresses, and prevent tracking while browsing, acting independently of the full OS-level VPN clients. Because browser extensions are constrained by browser APIs, this extension focuses on securing in-browser connections, protecting privacy specifically within the browser context rather than across the entire operating system. ...

...A VPN, or a virtual private network is designed to extend a private network across the Internet, using dedicated connections, virtual tunneling protocols or traffic encryption. Navigating the Internet through a VPN presents with several advantages, one of which is that you can hide your system’s IP. By connecting to a virtual private network server, you can surf the Web using the server’s Internet Protocol instead of your own. This way, your IP and location are protected against standard identifying software. Moreover, the VPN can extend the access of your network to websites that are otherwise blocked.
