Onion Browser Button

Easily browse the internet using TOR proxy with just one click!

The Onion Browser Button Chrome extension provides a convenient way to browse the internet using the TOR network through a simple one-click connection. This unofficial add-on does not affiliate with the official Tor Project but enables users who have their computer connected to TOR to quickly switch their browser traffic to the TOR proxy for enhanced anonymity.

To use this extension, users must first connect their PC or Mac to the TOR network using provided patches available on the developer's GitHub release page. Instructions for setting up the TOR connection are straightforward, including running scripts to start or stop the TOR service on the local machine. Once connected, the Onion Browser Button acts as a toggle to route browser traffic through TOR, helping users browse with privacy and security. Bug reports and further support are available through the extension's homepage.
