Key notes
Protecting yourprivacyonline is relatively simple, and the simplest way to do that is to use a proxy.
There are many online proxies that you can use in your web browser, and in today’s article, we’ll show you how to use them properly.
How do I use online proxy in my web browser?
1. Use proxy extensions
You’ll notice that many proxy websites offer their browser extensions as well. Using a browser extension has its advantages, and once you enable it, you’ll have a proxy running for all your tabs.
Extensions suffer from the same issues as the websites that provide the same services, and they will offer limited features or ads in the free version.
To avoid these limitations, it’s advised to use a browser that has its own VPN, such as Opera One. Its VPN is completely free, and it comes with no ads or bandwidth limitations as many proxies do.
In addition to VPN, the browser has a built-in ad blocker and the ability to block tracking cookies and scripts in order to speed up your browsing experience.
Even more, itis based on the Chromium engine, and all Chrome extensions should work on Opera One without any issues.
It’s worth mentioning thatthe browser is light, so it should handle any website with ease.

2. Visit proxy websites
This is the simplest method, but it has its flaws. By using this method, you’ll have proxy enabled only on a single website or on a single tab which can be a problem for some users.
In addition, some of these services offer limited features or ads in the free version.
Using an online proxy is usually rather simple, and you can do it easily by following instructions from this article. If you want better and unlimited protection, then Opera with its VPN might be a better choice.
