How to use services from Google as proxy servers

2. Google web light as a proxy server
Do you know you can use Google web light to access any blocked websites?
Web light is a service by Google which is used to optimize and load web pages on slow internet connections.
It can be used to view a web page in mobile format. The page is loaded in such a way that most of the scripts and CSS are removed in the rendering process. Hence, you get a heavily optimized web page that loads incredibly fast.
To use Google web light to access a website, you can replace ‘theunfolder.com’ with the site of your choice. Now copy the link text, paste it into the web browser’s address bar, and press enter. This will load the web page in an optimized mobile format.
https://googleweblight.com/?lite_url=https://www.theunfolder.com/So that’s how you can use Google services as a proxy server to access any restricted website.
