Proxy Switcher

Easily switch between multiple proxies via toolbar popup.

▶

Proxy Switcher is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed for effortless proxy management via a convenient toolbar popup.

With this extension, you can quickly switch between five proxy categories directly from the toolbar. The extension provides visual feedback by changing the badge icon color according to the active category and displays notifications confirming the current proxy status.

Proxy Switcher supports PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) files, allowing you to input PAC URLs or scripts for advanced proxy configuration. Users can also whitelist specific domains or websites by adding them to the bypass list within the toolbar interface, ensuring selected sites bypass the proxy.

Designed for both casual and advanced users, Proxy Switcher simplifies proxy management without leaving your browser. For bug reports and further assistance, visit the addon homepage at Proxy Switcher.

Пользоваться стало невозможно. Со временем вырубается сам, и приходится через управление расширениями включать. И так каждые 5 минут.
