## Description

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.
