Features & Capabilities

FoxyProxy Basic is an open-source Firefox proxy management extension that replaces limited browser proxy controls with flexible, customizable switching.

И standart и basic версия делает работу на aliexpress.ru практически невозможной. Независимо от того , включен какой либо прокси или выключен , загрузка страниц идет невыносимо долго. Другие переключатели прокси не дают таких осложнений

Is FoxyProxy Basic Safe?

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.

FoxyProxy Basic 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 Add-ons Store, 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.

FoxyProxy Basic is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
