Best Proxy Switcher is a powerful Chrome extension developed by a trusted proxy service provider since 2004. It allows users to seamlessly toggle between proxy servers either by using personal proxy details or by automatically downloading the most recently verified proxy lists from the official Proxy-List.org.

Ideal for advanced users and webmasters, this tool offers an option to register for unlimited access to an extensive database of over 10,000 working proxy servers daily, along with fast, secure VPN proxies. The extension is backed by a decade-long history of reliable service and user trust.

Despite occasional access restrictions due to ISP blocks in some countries, alternative access points are provided to ensure uninterrupted proxy service. Known issues are transparently addressed with helpful instructions to enable cookies or solve common access problems, making it a user-friendly and dependable solution for proxy management.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Best Proxy Switcher requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Best Proxy Switcher has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
