What is the Surfshark browser extension and how does it work?

The Surfshark browser extension is a privacy tool that integrates with web browsers to enable users to encrypt their internet connection and mask their IP address. It acts as a lightweight version of Surfshark's full VPN service, allowing for quick and easy activation directly within the browser interface. When a user enables the extension, it creates a secure tunnel between their device and one of Surfshark's servers located around the globe. This process encrypts all data transmitted from the browser, ensuring that sensitive information remains private and secure from prying eyes. Additionally, by connecting to servers in different locations, users can appear to be browsing from those places, thereby bypassing geo-restrictions and censorship while also enhancing their online anonymity.
