WebFreer is a free browser modification of Google Chrome. It gives you access to Facebook, Youtube etc through secure proxies, works almost all the time, has no subscription fees, no set-ups required and its typically faster than basic VPNs.

Saying that, its got a lot of pop-up ads, but if you are used to the level of adverts on a lot of Chinese sites, its not too bad, just don't set it as your default browser.

Weirdly, I can only find it on Chinese-language search engines.

The first time you use it, you have to let it fully load up the home page for it to work properly
