FoxyProxy Standard

FoxyProxy is an open-source, advanced proxy management tool that completely replaces Firefox's limited proxying capabilities. No paid accounts are necessary; bring your own proxies or buy from any vendor. The original proxy tool, since 2006.

FoxyProxy Standard is a powerful open-source Chrome extension that enhances your proxy management capabilities far beyond the default browser options. Since 2006, it has enabled users to switch proxies effortlessly via a simple point-and-click interface, URL pattern matching, individual browser tab assignment, and Firefox container integration.

Users can customize the interface with colors and country flags, import/export proxy settings, and quickly add URLs for proxying. Additional features include keyboard shortcuts, WebRTC control for privacy, detailed logging, and a built-in pattern tester. FoxyProxy supports multiple proxies without requiring any paid accounts—bring your own or purchase from any vendor. Its permissions ensure smooth proxy authentication and management without remote code execution. Trusted and continuously developed by the original creators, FoxyProxy provides a robust, privacy-focused proxy solution for Chrome users.

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.
