About Browsec
Browsec hides your IP address and encrypts traffic through servers in 46 or more countries. It started as a browser extension and has extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, plus apps for Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and Linux.
The free plan works in the browser and on phones with unlimited traffic and no account. Premium locations need a paid subscription. It suits people who want a quick in-browser proxy for occasional use rather than a full system VPN.
