User reviews
Pros
- Proxy functionality is generally effective and reliable.
- Integrates well with other tools such as BurpSuite (despite limitations).
Cons
- The proxy status badge is unreliable and often not visible except on new tabs or error pages.
- The newly added context menu entry cannot be removed, causing inconvenience.
- Shadowsocks support exists but lacks configurable settings, limiting usability.
- Issues with intercepting file upload requests when used with BurpSuite.
- Some errors related to self-signed certificates occur (MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT).

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.
FoxyProxy Standard 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.
FoxyProxy Standard has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
