User reviews

Users appreciate FoxyProxy Standard's proxy functionality and its compatibility with tools like BurpSuite. However, multiple reviews highlight problems: the proxy status badge does not consistently display, an unremovable context menu item was added, and Shadowsocks support lacks proper settings. Moreover, some users cannot intercept file uploads in BurpSuite and encounter certificate errors. The add-on works well overall but suffers from usability and feature shortcomings after recent updates.

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.
