## What it is
A browser extension for Chromium and Firefox that bypasses internet censorship in Russia using PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) scripts. It keeps the PAC script synced with a server and routes blocked URLs through proxies such as Antizapret.

## Use cases
- access blocked websites in Russia
- bypass Russian internet censorship
- route only censored domains through a proxy
- unblock sites in Chrome and Firefox
- avoid full-tunnel VPN overhead with PAC-based routing

## When to choose
- you need to access sites blocked by Roskomnadzor from a browser
- you want selective proxying of only blocked domains rather than a full VPN
- you use Chromium, Firefox, Edge, or Opera

## When to avoid
- you need system-wide or non-browser traffic proxying
- you need strong anonymity rather than simple unblocking
- you are outside Russia and have no blocked-domain list to bypass

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: proxy, security, privacy
- domain: censorship-circumvention, privacy, browser-extensions
- platform: browser, browser-extension
