🎭️ Proxatore

What is this?

🎭️ Proxatore is a content proxy for viewing and embedding media and text from various platforms.
It allows you to bypass ratelimits and georestrictions when accessing contents from many specific Internet platforms, and to view them with a clean and streamlined interface, that works well on both modern systems and old browsers or slow connections.
Additionally, it allows you to share links between social media platforms, ensuring link previews, which are often blocked by competitors, always display correctly.
