User Reviews
User reviews are mixed. The main downsides are performance slowdowns even with no proxy and usability bugs (non-responsive UI, persistent broken config after uninstall). There are some positive notes: Cloudflare tunnel functionality can work well for routing, and the log feature is valued. Occasional SOCKS5 compatibility issues and requests for better Chinese localization are also mentioned. Overall, reliability and performance appear to be the primary concerns, with limited consistently strong positives. Pros
- Cloudflare tunnel support works well for routing traffic
- The log feature is useful for tracking proxy activity
- Some reviewers described it as OK/Good and usable
Cons
- Significant performance slowdown; browser and device can be slowed even when no proxy is active
- Hard to use and buggy; intermittent UI issues; uninstall can leave broken config and there is no reset button
- Incompatibility with OpenSSH SOCKS5
- Localization/Chinese language support could be improved

Something broke recently. Many websites (YouTube, GooglePay, Twitter, etc.) don't work as they used to.

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