Frigate Firefox



friGate is a browser addon for Chrome and Firefox to quickly help you bypass Internet filtering without you having install software in your computer. The extension has many configuration options, advanced computer users will like the many preferences that this proxy addon allows you. friGate requires a little more work to set up than other one click proxy addons like Zenmate, but as an upside, you can fine grain it to your personal needs.

The default friGate behaviour is to automatically switch on the browser proxy when it detects that the site you are visiting is not available, the extension compares the URL you visit against a list of sites stored in preferences to know that the site really exists. A tiny right hand side window on top of your browser lets you know if the site you visit is blocked by the administrator and shows the flag of the proxy’s country being used to bypass it.

The list of sites that friGate unblocks is made of over a hundred Russian warez, casinos and torrent sites, most people will want to add productive sites to the list, like YouTube or Twitter. This is easy to do, a short video tutorial in friGate website exhibits step by step instructions. In Chrome you have to go to the browser Extensions>friGate CDN>Options compose a list name, click on “Add list” and you will see a new window where to add sites that you would like to visit with friGate proxy. There is the choice of only using the proxy when the site is blocked or choose to have the proxy always switched on regardless of if the site is blocked or not.

  1. Frigate, has a built-in graphics viewer (with thumbnails and slideshow functionality) that internally supports many popular file formats as well as a built-in text, rich text and DBF files viewer and editor. It accepts several plugins that you can download from the official site.
  2. It's just for Vietnameses or people cant log in FB.
  3. Frigates of the Modern Navy As is the case with many of the warships we discuss here on Ships of the Line, the 2nd World War altered the roles and classifications of these surface warships. The term Frigate was resurrected by the Royal Navy, and it only shared the name with the historical Frigates of the Age of Sail.

Firefox gives you quick access to your most recently used sites to help you get where you’re going fast, without hassle. SHARE ANYTHING IN A FEW TAPS The Firefox web browser makes it easy to share links to web pages or specific items on a page with easy, quick access to your most recently used apps like Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and more.

When you are visiting a site with the proxy on you can manually change the location, I was able to switch in between two different serves, one in Germany and another one in the Netherlands. The downside for me was that there was no USA proxy server, this meant that I couldn’t use friGate to stream US georestricted content like Slacker radio. This can be fixed by entering your own proxy IP and port number in friGate settings but there is no way to specify a username and password for the proxy, it will have to be an open proxy, not thrilling.

I didn’t notice any speed decrease when browsing the Internet with friGate proxy, I was unable to tell if I was on my ISP connection or the proxy other than by a small friGate indicator in the browser. I liked that I could browse the Internet with my own computer IP in one tab and visit a different site with an anonymous proxy in a different tab, all automatically. A tool like this, if added to a portable Internet browser, can be used in an Internet cafe or library to bypass filtering, as long as filtering it is not done at DNS level, in which the DNS servers would have to be changed.

Another aspect is the encrypted connection to stop a network administrator from seeing what sites you visit, there was no information on what algorithm and protocol friGate is using to encrypt the connection.

The project is financed injecting adverts when you browse the Internet, just like HotStopShield does but in friGate you can disable the adverts going to settings if you find them too intrusive, I didn’t think they were, there were no pop ups or too many windows.

Overall, I would be happy to use this proxy extension for low level privacy. The idea of this proxy is to help you get around Internet censorship and as long as the filter is software based it should work. If you find yourself somewhere the DNS has to be changed and you can’t access it, set up a Secure Shell SSH proxy tunnel instead.

The Refresh Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring your Firefox profile to its default state while saving your essential information.
If you have many Firefox customizations, you may want to skip this step and create a new Firefox profile instead (see step 6, below) so that your old profile is easily recoverable from the Profile Manager.
Note: When you refresh Firefox, your bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs, windows, passwords, cookies and web form auto-fill information will be saved. However, your extensions and themes will be removed and your preferences will be reset. Learn more.
  1. Click this Refresh Firefox button directly, if you are viewing this page in Firefox. This won't work if you are using a different browser or a mobile device.
    • You can also find a Refresh Firefox button at the top of the Firefox about:supportTroubleshooting Information page.
  2. To continue, click in the confirmation window that opens.
  3. Firefox will close to refresh itself. When finished, a window will list your imported information. Click and Firefox will open.

Note: There's a Refresh Firefox button in the Firefox Safe Mode window, if you can't start Firefox normally. You can also do a manual refresh by creating a new profile and transferring your important data to the new profile.

Sometimes files in your Firefox profile folder that correspond to the essential information that a Firefox Refresh doesn't remove (such as bookmarks and browsing history) may be causing the issue. You can create a new, additional profile which will not contain any of your old Firefox data. See the Profile Manager - Create, remove, or switch Firefox profiles article for instructions.

If you've tried all of these troubleshooting methods, and you're still having problems, here are some other solutions you can try:

Check browser internals

The Firefox Task Manager (about:performance page) lets you see what tabs or extensions are slowing down Firefox. Telemetry Data shared with Mozilla (about:telemetry page) contains detailed data about performance, hardware, usage and customization. The Troubleshooting Information page (about:support page) includes other about: page links and troubleshooting resources. (For a list of all about: pages, enter about:about in the address bar.)

Check for conflicts with your Internet security software

Some Internet security software (including antivirus, antispyware, and firewall programs) can cause problems with Firefox including blocking it from opening websites, crashes, and more. Often you can open the program's settings, remove Firefox from its list of allowed or trusted programs, and it will be re-detected and things should start working again. If your program is listed at the Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet article, you can get specific instructions for how to properly reconfigure it.
