How do I use online proxy in my web browser?
1. Use proxy extensions
- Open your browser’s extension store.
- Find the suitable proxy extension and install it.
- Configure the extension and you’ll be ready to use your proxy.
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, it is based on the Chromium engine, and all Chrome extensions should work on Opera One without any issues.
It’s worth mentioning that the browser is light, so it should handle any website with ease.

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.
