Everyone knows about it and using it as a default internet browser. On Google Web Store, a lot of extensions in different categories are available for Chrome users. Every Chrome user can easily get and use them too. Google Chrome is popular just because of its speed, service, performance and more other useful features. Almost, 60-65% active internet users use it as a default application. I hope, you are in one of them.

In 60-65% users, there might be a majority that needs security & protection and face the proxy issue. In different countries, lots of websites are banned like Pakistan. Because Youtube is ban in Pakistan. Now you can visualize, Youtube is the biggest website and lots of the internet users browse it regular for watching videos, so would Pakistani's not like to surf it?

Similarly, more other websites are also banned in other countries. You know what, people always do the same thing, which forbid them to do. A majority of the internet users regular try to enable proxy and surf banned websites. So, if you're a Google Chrome user then lots of extensions are available on Google Web Store that will help to change your surfing location and run blocked websites. In these proxy extensions, I shared here some best and top extensions to enable your proxy. Hopefully, these will be helpful for you and everyone.

1. ZenMate

ZenMate technology, in my views one of the best among all. It's a finest, lightest and quickly running extension that's designed for all the internet browsers especially for Chrome users. No matter where you are, just open it and enable your proxy. Everyone can easily get it from the Chrome Web Store. Android users can also get benefits from it.

It's master for change surfing location and IP address. One thing, I like the most that there is no login required while opening it. Once you've installed it, an icon will appear at the right of the top. When you click on icon, a pop-up will open immediately like above image. So just click on ON/OFF tab and enjoy.

Sign-up was required, when it was introduced. But now no need to sign-up. Maybe, it still requires sign-up in other countries, but officially not. Well! it's really best. If you're serious with your privacy and wanna surf blocked websites as well. So, ZenMate is my recommended extension for you.

2. Cyberghost VPN

Cyberghost VPN is a personal VPN service that's very easy in use. Every internet user especially Chrome user can easily hide location and surfing location with it. For better privacy and security, Cyberghost VPN is the best after ZenMate. If any site is banned at your location or in your whole country then enable it and surf them.

Options are very similar to the ZenMate. As you can see an image of ZenMate, in which a drop-down pop-up is showing and an option is also available ON/OFF to enable your proxy. Same as, Cyberghost VPN has an enabling option like that. Just click on the extension icon, a pop-up will be opened, so click here on provided option of enabling it. Sign-up is optional. If you want to get relief and better service then create your account on Cyberghost VPN. If you've already created then just Log-in, otherwise skip this step.

3. FoxyProxy Standard

FoxyProxy standard is another best VPN management tool that's designed for OS/X, Windows, iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, and Linux. A very popular and third most useful extension for surfing blocked website, as we can consider it. It's a very cheap reserve memory extension. Cheap reserve means, if you've a low-end PC then you definitely should use it as default.

There will be no any bug and problems happening while using it. It's standard menu different from above two. After installing it, when you'll open it then a menu will be dropped, where three options will be displaying for enabling proxy and for disabling too and in last, an option will also available for its setting. When you click on Setting, then a new tab will open, where you can manage everything about your extension easily. Your enabling location, surfing URL and too much important thing will be showing also at the right in a chart as a record.

4. Proxy-on

Proxy-on is another highlighted in our list. Actually, you can consider it as a professional extension. When you'll install it in your chrome, then you'll be understood about very well. This extension provides three different options to enable proxy. First option is free , second is Premium and third Manual. Free option is definitely for free users, In which you can enable your proxy and can easily surf blocked or banned site at your location. It's quite risky for those who wanna protect their privacy. So, if thinking to protect personal privacy then here's my recommendation that don't use its free mode. Try to use its Premium or Manual option.

When you switch to the Premium mode then it will require sign-up formality that is compulsory. Premium version has its own features. It provides you free browsing as anonymously, fast speed, unlimited data, proxy surfing opportunity more than 30 countries and more.

So as I said in first paragraph that if you’re a Chrome or Firefox user then you are lucky because these extensions or add-ons. So some of the best, useful and recommended extensions, I shared below. Must try them and share your own opinions about them.

Extensions For Google Chrome

The most successful browser of the 21st century is Google Chrome. This browser has seriously lots of extensions on Google Play Store. So everybody can easily get and use as wish. Here are some extensions for Security and Privacy. Read reviews about them and choose your best.

1. PasswordFail:

If you ever noticed that sometimes when you visit any website then it requires to login your account. So, it’s a very risky moment and difficult to decide that you should login your account or not? Because all websites are not able to trust. So in this situation, PasswordFail helps and guides you to know about such websites that is this a malware site or any hacker is handling. Even any trusted website already hacks then Password alerts in this condition too.

I hope, by using this extension, you would get help and would be able to know about hacking or spamming sites.

2. View Thru:

View Thru is an active extension which alerts you suddenly when you open any malware site or any malware site opens and you don’t know about it. Bit.ly or tinyURL are such URLs which shows site’s original URL, when site opens completely. So, before clicking such links, you don’t aware that which site will open. You don’t know though, but View Thru knows everything about it. It knows that which website is fine and good for you. It helps to detect malware sites and guides you that you should open it or not. So must try it. Because this extension can safe you any type of big upcoming trouble.

3. Web Of Trust (WOT):

If you’re a regular internet surfer or blogger and you visit lots of websites in a day then ‘Web Of Trust’ is for you. WOT helps to make you safe as much as possible for it. When you enter in such website even you don’t know about it then in this situation this extension helps you and informs about surfing website. I know, any anti-malware can also do this work. But for that you’ve to download and install an anti-virus that may take too much time as compared with Web Of Trust.

4. AdBlock:

I my views, everybody should have AdBlock especially where kids use the internet. AdBlock helps to simply block ads on site and hide them. You know what, sometimes website admins place sexual related ads for attraction and money, that’s wrong or harmful for kids in teenage. So, must install AdBlock extension in your Chrome, if your kid, younger brother or sister surf the internet.

Extensions For FireFox

Not just in my views, we all know well that Firefox is the second best browser today. It has also best add-ons for privacy and security. So must try them, if you use Firefox as a default application.

1. AdBlock Plus:

AdBlock Plus is the advanced version of Chrome’s AdBlock. Although, both versions are very similar, but due to the some features on AdBlock Plus, it makes a difference between them. As I said in Chrome’s AdBlock paragraph that it helps to prevent Ads of the site. Nowadays, it has become necessary because admin of sites are placing such sexual and adult ads for attraction, so that’s why we have to prevent from them and AdBlock Plus will help to prevent them.

Similarly, if you ever download any software or application, so sometimes these types of ads also show download option and get attraction opportunity from this way. Suppose if a user click on it then two things will happen. First software definitely won’t download because it’s an ad not an option provided to download and second by clicking on this ad, you will be reached out to spamming or malware site which can easily put you in a big trouble.

So that’s all reasons to use AdBlock Plus. So please if your kids and your younger brother or sister use your computer to surf the internet, then install this extension. Because if you don’t do it then it would be very harmful in this teenage for them.

2. BetterPrivacy:

BetterPrivacy is a very good add-on for you, if you are a social marketer and do social activities on the internet. I’ll recommend this extension especially to the bloggers and internet marketer. Because normally bloggers and internet marketer don’t log out or sign out their account. Because they have to use them again after an interval of time. That’s why. So you know anyone can locate IP easily. So once the IP address located then any hacker will definitely do his illegal activity and try to hack logged accounts. So that’s the reason and this is why, we should use BetterPrivacy add-on.

3. SpamAvert:

SpamAvert and View Thru are almost same. Both work same. SpamAlert also alerts you like View Thru when you enter in any malware site. It guides you before entering in any site that you should open this or not? So that’s the reason and that’s why this extension is now must have extension for every user. As we know, the world of the internet is growing its foundation very fast. Lots of websites are developing nowadays. But all sites are not able to trust. That’s why we need to have a guide now and nothing is better than SpamAvert.

4. HideBad:

The Hidebad Firefox add-on offers a looking free for all catch that immediately close every open tab in your project and replaces them with your presentation page. It stops snooping spies from knowing which site pages you were basically surfing, which may be the most basic security measure of each one of them.

Final Thoughts
