Introduction
A proxy server is an intermediary between your computer and the internet. It allows you to browse the internet anonymously, bypass internet restrictions, and access geo-restricted content. Google Chrome, being the most popular web browser, offers a simple and user-friendly way to set up and use a proxy server. In this article, we will discuss how to use proxy on Google Chrome.
What is a Proxy Server?
