About this extension
Tailchrome connects Firefox to your Tailscale tailnet without a system VPN. Each browser profile gets its own Tailscale identity, keeping your personal and work tailnets separate.
Features:
• Browse devices on your tailnet by name or IP
• Per-profile Tailscale isolation
• Exit nodes for routing through your tailnet
• MagicDNS hostname resolution
• Subnet routing support
• Zero system networking changes
• Shields Up mode
Setup:
Install the extension, download the helper app, and log in. The helper app is a small native program that runs a Tailscale node per browser profile. Setup takes about 30 seconds.
How it works:
A native messaging host runs locally and manages Tailscale connections per profile. Only Firefox traffic is routed through your tailnet. Your system networking is never modified.
Open Source:
