Client support for Privacy Pass anonymous authorization protocol.

What is Silk - Privacy Pass Client?
Silk - Privacy Pass Client is a Firefox extension enhancing user privacy through the use of cryptographic tokens provided by Privacy Pass protocol. Ideal for use on Cloudflare-protected sites, it helps confirm you're human without revealing personal information. Once a supported site requests a token, Silk prompts you to solve a challenge, rewarding you with a token that can be used for anonymous authorization, helping reduce CAPTCHA interactions and streamline browsing.
