User reviews
Handy and concise extension. What is missing is a Badge text option with the ability to write custom text up to 4 characters per icon for each proxy I use. Also very much missing is a backup import/export function. There is a bug where after restarting the browser, the selected proxy is not automatically connected if it has a login/password. In case when proxy does not require login/password, then proxy automatically connects after browser restart and works fine, but icon in toolbar shows wrong state of disabled proxy.

The new update doesn't have Socks5 option
