Censor Tracker is a browser extension designed to help users bypass internet censorship and access websites that may be blocked in their country. It also identifies websites that have surveillance tools installed. The extension is intended for individuals seeking to circumvent online restrictions and maintain privacy while browsing.
The tool maintains a comprehensive registry of banned websites, with over 400,000 URLs from Russia alone, and also tracks blocked sites in countries such as Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. Censor Tracker offers a "Forced Proxy List" feature, allowing users to add domains that are not present in the existing database so these sites can also be accessed through the extension's proxy. This ensures users can reach both known and custom-blocked sites by routing their traffic through a reliable proxy.
Censor Tracker emphasizes user privacy by not storing or sharing personal data or browser history with third parties. The extension does not keep logs, distinguishing it from many commercial alternatives. Its source code is available for public review on GitHub, supporting its privacy claims.
The extension is available for installation on Chrome and Firefox browsers, and can also be downloaded as a zip file. It is distributed via official extension stores, including Mozilla Addons and the Google Web Store.
