SnowHaze Firefox Extension

SnowHaze is on a mission to protect your online privacy. This Firefox extension gathers the most important privacy and security features from the SnowHaze iOS browser and makes them available for Firefox users.

The extension allows you to create fully isolated tabs that do not share any data between each other. Furthermore, secure HTTPS connections are forced to establish encrypted connections to websites and mixed content is blocked to avoid malicious attacks. Additionally, privacy settings native to Firefox can easily be changed without having to get lost in about:config.

SnowHaze also offers other products for privacy protection such as the SnowHaze iOS browser and SnowHaze VPN with its anonymous protocol „Zero-Knowledge Auth“. More details about SnowHaze can be found on the SnowHaze Website.
