Quick & Dirty Proxy Flipper - An Easy Proxy Switcher

'Quick & Dirty Proxy Flipper' is a Chrome extension designed for the speedy alteration between multiple proxy settings. With its help, users can swiftly switch between localhost socks5 on 1080 for ssh -D or others, localhost socks5 on 9050 for tor, and localhost http on 8080 for request twiddling proxies. It also enables a setting to prevent sending Google queries to the proxies. Despite being modest in features, it is quick, dirty, and gets the job done efficiently.

Great , I've now also added this to the New *Dissenter* Web-browser to run alongside Advanced TOR (Advor) ,not just for access to the dark web (& escaping ICANN's monopoly on IP Domain Names) but to escape from censorship & Orwellian dictatorship over our data (on The Public / Normy Web as well) get Dissenter today (& comment anywhere anytime censorship free - based on the open sourced Chomeuim infrastructure (so like your current chrome flavored browser ,Like BRAVE but far more Superior) https://dissenter.com/download#download
