What it does

Side-by-side comparison of the Go Private Quickly toolbar icon: a vivid purple-and-gold mask in a normal Firefox window, and a muted silver mask in a private window.
The toolbar mask is full-color in a normal window and dims to silver in a private one.

What it is not

GPQ is a convenience tool, not anonymity. It is not a VPN, it does not hide your IP, and it does not block ads or trackers (pair it with uBlock Origin or Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection). Files you download during private browsing stay on your computer after the window closes. See the full privacy policy.
