"Proxy Switcher and Manager" extension brings the power of proxy management to your browser. Using this extension, you can configure your browser to use a proxy server without altering your operating system's network. The toolbar icon indicates the current type of proxy your browser is using (No Proxy Mode (Direct), Auto-detect Proxy Mode, Manual Mode (SOCKS and HTTPS), and PAC Script Mode). The extension is designed such that no resource is used while the panel is closed.
Features:
Supports profiles to store multiple proxy servers and switch between them when needed
Supports inline PAC script
Supports refreshing the PAC script from a remote server
Displays failed resources and the reason they failed
Supports badge text and toolbar color to differentiate between proxy profiles
Notes:
The toolbar icon is an indicator of the current proxy type. Place your mouse over the toolbar button to get more info.
The badge text displays the number of failed resources. Opening the panel, you can check these resources by pressing the "Error Log" button (this feature is disabled by default).
It is possible to search for free transparent or anonymous proxy servers in the manual proxy tab.

Hello,
I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up.
No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me.
We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States.
It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact.

It works. Some of you will get it. Some won't.
I threw in something like this for the PAC script:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if (shExpMatch(url, "*pandora.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*reddit.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*whatismyip.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*google.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*paypal.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*amazon.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*netflix.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*hulu.com*") ||
shExpMatch(url, "*endoffile.com")) {
return "PROXY 127.0.0.1:1095";
}
return "DIRECT";
}
